About Forest Living Residentieel interieurontwerp

Forest Living is een residentieel interieur gelegen aan de voet van de Ali-berg in Chiayi County, Taiwan. De woning van 166 vierkante meter werd ontworpen voor een eigenaar die na lange afwezigheid terugkeerde naar zijn geboortestreek. De open plattegrond volgt het pad van het daglicht en verbindt de ruimte geleidelijk van buiten naar binnen. Ramen van vloer tot plafond vervangen massieve muren en brengen de lucht en het groen naar binnen. Wanden van zichtbeton worden gecombineerd met houten plafonds en houten tafels en stoelen om warmte toe te voegen. Houten boekenkasten op de eerste verdieping lopen door naar de tweede verdieping.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: Hometown is deeply ingrained in the mind. The hometown will always be home no matter how long you're away. In the latter half of the journey of life, the homeowner has decided to move back to the hometown. This retirement abode highlights the deep-seated love and longing for the hometown, emphasizing the unbreakable bond with family and the lasting impact it has on life. Accompanied by sleek iron parts, natural elements and materials, such as fair-faced concrete and wood can add human touch under the warmth of the sunlight and release warmth to the space.
Dimensions & Packaging: In the space of 166 square meters, an open-plan design allows light to naturally flow through windows. Following the path of light flow, the space is gradually linked from the outside to the inside. The floor-to-ceiling windows bring in an abundance of natural daylight, so that the public sphere is bathed in the light from dawn to dusk.
Tags: Interior Design, Residential, Japanese style, Wood, Sky corridor
Production Technology: Art paint, painted iron parts, system cabinets, marble countertops, wooden ceilings, raw concrete
Design Challenge: Using wood materials can reduce carbon emissions during construction. The use of windows instead of solid walls blurs the distinction between inside and outside, and turns the blue sky and greenery into a stunning scene. To prevent the space from becoming too cold, wood tones add warmth to the fair-faced concrete walls. Wood book walls, wood tables, and wood chairs ooze warmth and elegance.
Research: With Japanese style as the main axis of the interior space, the walls are made of fair-faced concrete to embody serene and tranquility. The unadorned textures give a sense of stability and ease. The wood bookshelves on the first floor extend to the second floor, and the genius arrangement of cross-shaped light fixtures create an exquisite hierarchical view.
Inspiration: Back to the roots is the theme of the design. Since the building is located at the foot of Ali Mountain, a large amount of wood is used as the base, creating a harmonious connection between the interior and exterior. Large floor-to-ceiling windows help bring in the outdoors to the indoor space, creating a cozy and nurturing reading environment.
Project Duration: The project finished in December 2023 in Chiayi County, Taiwan.
Operation Flow: Adequate lighting is essential for reading. Large floor-to-ceiling windows allow plenty of natural light into the space with a high ceiling, while the triangular plates outline the mountain ridge as one goes upstairs to second floor, fostering an interaction between the outside and the inside. A sky corridor makes it feel light and airy. The metal skeleton structure is a perfect way to filter light and create an ever-changing display of light and shadow.
