About Life Savoring Boliginnredning

Life Savoring er et interiørdesign for en leilighet i Taipei, Taiwan. Interiøret dekker omtrent 119 kvadratmeter og omfatter stue, spisestue, kjøkken, balkong, tre soverom og to bad. Svart, hvitt og trefarger utgjør hovedpaletten. Utstillingsskap er unngått for å redusere visuell tyngde og opprettholde en enkel romlig orden. Planløsningen er universelt utformet, og det er plassert håndlister i hvert rom. Det er også satt av plass til senere installasjon av sikkerhetsutstyr, slik at boligen passer beboerne også i pensjonisttilværelsen.

Design Challenge: Since the house is nearly 50 years old, many difficulties need to be overcome in the process of renovation. In addition to the old pipeline repairment, the designer also has to readjust the overall layout and flow planning to create a comfortable living area for couples who love tidiness.
Research: The designer eliminates extra decoration in the overall space design, and uses a simple and concise design technique to create a neat home with a combination of black, white, and wooden color tones. The design of this case is especially based on envisions of a living field for retirement. In addition to the spacious spatial scale, the design retains spaces for future installation of safety facilities, and due to the clients personality, the style of the space is also built with clean and neat design elements.
Inspiration: Incorporating the clients living habits into the planning of the design, designers focuses on simple ambience, smooth flows, and humanized functional equipment. Especially because the client is about to enter the stage of retirement, in the overall design of this project, in addition to retain the location of the future installation of safety facilities in this spacious space, the planning process also considers the direction of the door opening, the smoothness of the flow and other factors, which improves the safety and tailor-made the perfect living environment for the client.
Project Duration: The project was completed in April 2020 in Taipei, Taiwan.
Operation Flow: Since the house is about 40-50 years old, problems exist in the original housing conditions and the flow planning, so the designer readjusts the layout of the public and private areas and removes the French door of the front balcony to enlarge the living room space, and close the patio on the corridor, bringing a more comfortable life. By changing the location of the kitchen and dining room, and altering the original four rooms into a three-bedroom layout, it expands the sleeping and bathroom space of the master bedroom. Also, the designer has put armrests in each space to avoid the accidents.
