About Absolute Nature Design Interior Rezidențial

Absolute Nature este un design interior rezidențial pentru o clădire cu patru etaje din orașul Pingtung, Taiwan. Suprafața totală este de 245 de metri pătrați, incluzând o grădină exterioară. Designul este inspirat de casele tradiționale din plăci de piatră și de arta și meșteșugurile aborigenilor locali. Ferestrele originale, de dimensiuni mici, au fost înlocuite cu pereți din sticlă, iar luminatoare și tavane înalte au fost adăugate. Scara centrală a fost demontată și reconstruită sub forma unei scări cu vang unic, amplasată la capătul clădirii, pentru a crea un plan deschis. Sunt utilizate ciment, sticlă, lemn plutitor, plăci ceramice și lemn reciclat.

Tags: Reformation of old building, aboriginal arts, natural habitat, sustainable design, residential design
Production Technology: Cement, Glass, driftwood, Terracotta tiles, Ceramic Tiles, Metal pieces, Wood crafts
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.
