Production Technology
The structural elements inspired by engawa provides sufficient family storage space with surface planes for diverse usage.
For instance, mothers may fold clothes or do chores on the platform near the laundry room.
The proper height and space of the engawa also serve as an alternative for meeting guests
or an exciting area for children to play games.
Design Challenge
We make space for family storage needs within the limits of interconnected, standalone, enriched, and fun rooms.
Research
By incorporating functionality with the design concept,
we created middle rooms and platforms
to offer a new way for family interactions.
Inspiration
An engawa is a type of flooring in traditional Japanese architecture
that connects the interior with the exterior, and blurs the boundary yet defines spatial functions.
then created middle rooms that connect the living room, dining room, and the study without spatial interference.
The definitive solid and void structural elements of the middle rooms provide storage, interface usage,
and a new way for family interactions.
Project Duration
The project will start in Taipei in October 2022 and be completed in Taipei in January 2023
Operation Flow
Layered structures simplified the entire space;
into standalone yet interconnected rooms.
and transform the home into a place for entertaining children
with interesting and diverse visuals and user experiences.
