The Design

About Flutter Chapters Bostadsinredning

Flutter Chapters är en bostadsinredning för ett ungt par i Taiwan. Hemmet på 120 kvadratmeter ändrades från fyra rum till tre, och ett rum blev ett klädrum som förstorar sovrummet. En vägg bakom soffan har ett litet hörn borttaget för att antyda ett bläddrat blad, och en öppen hylla bredvid den rymmer personliga föremål. Rundade väggar och dörrkarmar följer ett wabi-sabi-inspirerat förhållningssätt. En köksö ersätter matbordet för daglig användning och sociala sammankomster. Massivträfaner, skåpsnickerier och laminatgolv i jordnära toner skapar en varm atmosfär.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: The design behind the sofa wall symbolizes the beginning of a new life chapter. A small corner is removed to represent the turning of a page, adding dynamism to the space. The open shelf in this area holds memorabilia, while the wall separates social and private zones, making daily life feel like the turning of a book page. The rounded walls and door frames, embodying the wabi-sabi style, create a cave-like feeling, offering security. The dining area was redefined as a versatile kitchen island, blending functionality with fluidity, ensuring a flexible and practical space.
Dimensions & Packaging: The site is 120 square meters. It has been changed from 4 rooms, 1 living room, 1 dining room, and 2 bathrooms to 3 rooms, 1 living room, 1 dining room, and 2 bathrooms. The main axis of the design revolves around the lifestyle of the residents, emphasizing the balance between practicality and aesthetics. The designer converted the original 4 rooms into 3 rooms. One of the rooms was converted into a dressing room to enlarge the master bedroom. The kitchen island replaces the dining table to provide a more versatile context and improve space utilization.

Production Technology: Solid wood veneers, woodwork cabinetry, and laminate flooring with matte special paint. Earthy tones create a natural and warm atmosphere. The designer used natural elements such as wood and special paint materials with natural textures. Milky brown walls and wooden furniture create a soft and natural atmosphere. Warm beige and light brown harmonize the whole space, filling it with comfort and calmness.
Design Challenge: The wabi-sabi style has a wide range of expressions. The designer needed to strike a balance between grandeur, beauty, and art. After repeated communication and coordination, the design meets the needs of the living space but does not become overly artistic. In terms of spatial proportion and layout adjustment, the designer removed the bathroom compartment and enlarged it. The change involved rearranging the piping, and the designer needed to precisely balance the proportions to ensure the functionality and comfort of each area.
Research: 'Flutter Chapters' draws inspiration from books, symbolizing the new chapter in a young couple's life. The designer used a 'turning of the page' concept with wabi-sabi elements. The warm milky brown palette, combined with wood and textured materials, creates a comfortable, natural atmosphere. The layout shifted from four rooms to three, focusing on practicality and aesthetics. The kitchen island replaces a traditional dining table, offering multifunctional use. The smooth circulation ensures easy access to all functional areas, making the space ideal for daily family life.
Inspiration: The design for this home was inspired by the needs and preferences of a young couple, symbolizing the start of a new chapter in their lives. A wall, representing the 'turning of the page,' captures this concept. The circular design reflects their anticipation for the future, embracing dynamism and continuity. With a preference for wabi-sabi, the designer incorporated earthy tones and natural elements like wood and textures. The result is a warm, cozy, and functional space, thoughtfully designed to meet the long-term needs of the residents.
Project Duration: The project finished in November 2024 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow: The hostess is delighted with the kitchen island's versatility, noting that it serves not only for daily activities and coffee making but also as the core for social gatherings with friends. She finds its size and design practical and perfect for everyday needs. The host is equally pleased with the spacious, comfortable bathroom, particularly the bathtub, which is ideal for couples to relax together. He also appreciates the thoughtful layout connecting the master bedroom, dressing room, and bathroom, providing both convenience and functionality.
