Unique Properties

Studio One adopts the open floor plan to maximize the depth of the space while creating a circulated flow in the main area. The space was indulged with abundant natural light, which not only allows to interact with interior materials and create interesting texture variation but also achieve energy saving during daytime. Studio One creates a non-hinderance flow towards space, yet each area could be isolated from each other with flexible sliding doors. The space possibilities lie on its flexibilities.

Dimensions & Packaging

The area of this project is 80sq. m2, which contains living area, dining area, kitchen, dressing room, guest room, master bedroom and bathroom. The space was composed with an open floor plan with blur boundaries.

Production Technology

For design strategies, Studio One adopts the open floor plan to maximize the interior space in both depth. Designer studied the existing beam system and rearranging walls and opening of rooms in order to achieve non-hinderance flow and obtain natural light as much as possible. In order to decrease the oppression from the main beam in main area, designer placed the storage system underneath and used it as space divider as well. Space function was hidden in new walls/storage system yet space boundaries varied based on demands.

Design Challenge

The challenge was to maximizing the interior space with more possibilities and flexibilities. How the space or zones were defined without setting up a clear or solid boundaries is the key design objective towards this project. An open plan was introduced to the case in order to achieve the design goal while also allowing natural lights travel as much as it could within whole interior. As the space indulged in natural lights, how the materials altered or created more texture expressions for both visual or tactile perception was design concern as well.

Research

a) Space form follows demands-
In this limited space, designer applied open plan to maximize the possibility and flexibilities for the interior, yet the contour of the space could be re-shaped easily based on client’s space demands. The boundaries between zones could be solid or blur.
b) Dialogue between lights and materials-
In order to create a calm and serenity space, designer applied monochrome color scheme and emphasize on the dialogue between natural light and interior materials. Textured Wood panel and mineral paint were selected based on its unique traits and textures, and both of them altered while natural light shifted from time to time. Every moment counts for the interior texture expression.

Inspiration

The inspiration was derived from the concept of module system. Each area in the space were seen as an isolate cube/zone, but as the cubes re-arranged based on client’s life behavior or space demands, the space could be easily shifted into different contour. The boundaries within the interior were vague yet could be easily redefined by using the sliding door to create private zone in an open interior space.
A space with possibilities was shown in its form variations and texture expression.

Project Duration

The project was completed in Taipei, Taiwan in Dec. 2023.

Operation Flow

The original existing floor plan was more closed with one way space flow, hence also limits the amount of natural light comes into the space. By analyzing client’s space demands and living behavior, Studio One decrease the number of rooms, rearranging the size of each room/zone in order to maximize the usage of the interior.
Solid walls drew a clear boundary between areas yet applying sliding door to obtain the flexibilities towards the space. The method allows to obtain more circulated space flow and a brighter space, the solid/blur boundaries could be easily shifted by client’s changing demands.
