The Design
About Absolute Nature Boliginnredning
Absolute Nature er et interiørdesign for bolig i en fire-etasjers bygning i Pingtung by, Taiwan. Det totale arealet er 245 kvadratmeter, inkludert en utendørs hage. Designet er inspirert av det tradisjonelle steinhelle-huset og av lokal urbefolknings kunst og håndverk. Små originale vinduer ble erstattet med glassvegger, og takvinduer og høye tak ble lagt til. Den sentrale trappen ble fjernet og bygget om til en enkeltvangetrapp i enden av bygningen for å skape en åpen planløsning. Sement, glass, drivved, fliser og resirkulert tømmer er brukt.

- Design Challenge
- The casting of the cement walls is a major challenge during the construction process. As the overall space has to maintain the original appearance of the cement mortar, the casting needs to be completed in very limited time and parts of the wall surface that contain totem design with lines and uneven corners have all increased the difficulty of the application.
- Research
- The facade of the old building is covered with traditional, non porous iron gates and iron windows. Openings on both the front and rear sides of the building are increase ventilation, while introducing greeneries to regulate microclimate. The reconstruction and design have revolved around the existing building structures which reflect local culture and respond to the surrounding context. The use of raw materials for decorations and recycled waste timber made furniture revitalize the old space.
- Inspiration
- The site is situated in Hengchun Peninsula in Southern Taiwan which is rich in verdant scenery and aboriginal settlement. Since the client is involved in the creation of aboriginal arts and crafts, the initial concept of the spatial characters is hence inspired by the stone slab house and the ecological characteristic, utilized sustainable materials and construction methods to sustain the architecture, while integrating aboriginal cultures and arts elements into the design.
- Project Duration
- The project is completed in June, 2018 in Pingtung City, Taiwan.
- Operation Flow
- The original windows are too small, and the stairs located in the center of the house leads to poor internal ventilation and insufficient natural lighting. After the transformation, the original windows are replaced with glass walls and high-ceiling design and skylights are introduced. The interior staircase that obstructed the spatial connections and circulations is removed and replaced with a more porous, single stringer staircase at the end of the building to allow an open, unobstructed internal layout.
