The Design

About Nuanced Light Residentieel Interieurontwerp

Nuanced Light is het interieurontwerp van een residentiële vakantievilla in Taiwan, met een oppervlakte van 413 vierkante meter. Het ontwerp is een herinterpretatie van de Art Deco-stijl uit de jaren 1920. Repetitieve geometrische patronen zijn te zien in de wanddecoratie en op de verlichtingsarmaturen. Metalen details zijn verwerkt in grote panelen, omlijst in zwart, wit, zilver en grijs. Ruitvormig marmer op de vloer van de hal weerspiegelt de wanddecoratie aan weerszijden. Zwarte zeshoekige houtblokken met gouden randen bepalen de symmetrische woon- en eetkamers.

Production Technology
The pattern of repetitive geometry on wall decoration and light fixtures takes cues from the reductive decoration motif of New York architecture in the 1920s. The metallic luster is inlayed in the large panels of black, white, silver, and grey peripheral frames. The interwoven thinking of western aesthetics and oriental equilibrium lurks underneath the luxury of glaring glamor.
Design Challenge
The materiality and color are subordinate to the intersecting lines, encircling yet not noisy. The lines become simplified Upton entering the bedrooms, accomodating the functionality of storage and sleeping within an ordered framework. The frame-like design of the study-room cupboard doubles as a storage and display shelf. The dark blue of boy’s room is soften by the beige white of girl’s room.
Research
The black hexagonal woodblocks with golden rims define the symmetrical configuration of living and dining rooms. The corridor threads through the two places from the porch. The vista is a painting with heavy, rich colors, balancing the lightness of the ubiquitous geometry on the wallpapers.
Inspiration
The project transfigured the Art Deco villa of 1920s. It converges the radiant lines and patterns into the order of longitudinal and traversal sections. The planar geometry unfolds into a three-dimensional one. The composition of folding and extension of the lines and planes on ceiling and floor becomes the main element of the surrounding space. Under the seemingly complicated material and patterns, the designer distinguishes the nuanced functionality of each space.
Project Duration
The project started in August 2017 in Taiwan and finished in February 2018 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow
The diamond-shaped marble on the porch floor echoes the wall decoration on both sides, unraveling the main theme of the villa—the subdued luxury. The black hexagonal woodblocks with golden rims define the symmetrical configuration of living and dining rooms. The corridor threads through the two places from the porch. The vista is a painting with heavy, rich colors, balancing the lightness of the ubiquitous geometry on the wallpapers.
