About Grayscale Shadows Boliginnredning

Grayscale Shadows er en boliginnredning for et hus på 392 kvadratmeter i Taipei by, Taiwan. Planløsningen omfatter en stue, en spisestue, fire soverom og to bad. Nøytrale gråtoner og håndmalte veggoverflater gir rommene et rolig og rustikt preg. Tre, hvite toner, mørkegrå nyanser, jern og glass er kombinert gjennom hele boligen. Gulv-til-tak-vinduer slipper inn dagslys og åpner interiøret mot de omkringliggende trærne. En skjerm av slanke jernprofiler og glassfolie slipper lyset gjennom samtidig som den bevarer privatlivet.

Dimensions & Packaging: In the space of 392 square meters, there are one living room, one dining room, four bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Production Technology: Faux finishes, veneer, systeam furniture, wooden floor, tile, ironwork
Design Challenge: The structural beam spans the canopy at the junction of the living room and the foyer. While synchronizing the coating of the TV wall, it starts with the wall next to the shoe cabinet and wrapping the beam upward, continuing to the wall next to the dining table. The vestibule spans over large space to reduce the presence of volume.
Research: The simplicity forms a neat dining scene. The modern table and white kitchenware create a cozy and inviting atmosphere with the diffusion of light. The dimmable light source changes the visual appearance and mood of the space according to the residents' preference. When adjusting light level from bright to dark, you can embrace a bistro-like vibe.
Inspiration: Sitting around lush green trees, the house enjoys a stunning view. As a bridge between indoors and outdoors, floor-to-ceiling windows introduce abundant light. The maximized window-to-wall offer a full-length view of the outside as well as expanding the spatial vision.
Project Duration: The project finished in August 2021 in Taipei City, Taiwan.
Operation Flow: The dark gray stone tiles and wooden cabinet are the first impression of the entrance. The natural wood and stone offer a relaxing vibe when the house owner returns home. The screen is made of slim iron pieces with glass assemblies. Thanks to opacity of the glass film, it lets the light pass through while retaining privacy. The natural light coming from the glass is softened by the glass, and cast a white, non-dazzling sunshine.
Stepping into the living room, there is a change in flooring material. The wooden flooring gives a comfortable and skin-friendly touch to the space. The main TV wall is painted in grayscale, while the asymmetrical natural texture enriches the expression of the space. The horizontal pull-out wooden TV cabinet on the lower level interrupts the oppressiveness of the large areas of texture, leaving a breath of fresh air and creating layers by using various materials.
The study area is defined by a half-height wall instead of a solid wall, which retains transparency and increases the interaction between family members. After the expansion, the wall turns and connects to the bookcase along the window, creating a sense of stability in the space. The lower layer of the bookcase is lightly covered with wooden grilles, and the delicate lines are lined up to lend an elegant
and elevated touch. The middle section of the cabinet introduces an open platform, and the upper display cabinet stores collections or books as needed, creating a unique and charming vista in the warm wooden interior.
