About Spirit of Stillness Interieurontwerp van een appartement
Spirit of Stillness is een interieurontwerp voor een appartement van 120 vierkante meter in Taipei City, Taiwan. Het ontwerp combineert oosterse filosofie met een moderne esthetiek om een rustgevende ruimte te creëren binnen een drukke stad. Een driedelige benadering kent gelijke waarde toe aan werk, ontspanning en rust. De hoofdwand is vervaardigd uit gerecyclede steenfragmenten, en de kunstwand is afgewerkt met Italiaanse milieuvriendelijke verven. Een verborgen metalen constructie draagt een 30 kilogram wegend Bodhisattva-beeld. Natuurlijk licht, energiezuinige ledverlichting, thermisch isolerende materialen en luchtzuiverende planten verhogen het comfort.

Throughout the production process, rigorous sustainability standards were followed to ensure environmental compatibility.
- Design Challenge
- The most significant challenge was balancing opposing elements such as Eastern and Western aesthetics, sustainability, and luxury, along with tradition and innovation. Regulatory constraints regarding sustainable materials presented logistical challenges, and maintaining aesthetic integrity required attention to every detail. Overcoming these challenges necessitated meticulous planning, extensive research, and the harmonization of various factors to achieve a cohesive final design.

- The inspiration for this project came from Eastern philosophy, particularly the equanimity expressed in Su Shi's "Ding Feng Bo." The design aims to encapsulate a contemplative worldview by seamlessly integrating artistry with function. Traditional elements are merged with modern aesthetics, creating a dialogue between the past and present, realized through meticulous research and planning.
- Project Duration
- This project commenced its design phase in March 2023 and concluded in August 2023. It is situated in Taipei City, Taiwan.
- Operation Flow
