About Link To The World 住宅室内设计

《连结世界》是一件位于新北市、面积35平方米公寓的住宅室内设计作品。设计舍弃传统电视墙，转而在入口处以一幅世界地图作为空间主视觉。地图以金属板雷射切割制成，每个孔洞的大小对应该地区的人群活动强度与密度。光线自孔洞间透出闪烁，宛如从太空俯瞰的地球夜景。压克力标记则记录了居住者曾经造访过的地点。滑动隔屏使空间既能满足单人独处，也能容纳更多人聚会。

Production Technology: aRtualize Lab. sacrificed the regular TV wall set up in the suite and import the idea of 'link to the world' onto the wall and become a feature at the entry. Inspired from the night view of the world, the design team fabricated through digital program to get the graphic map and each spot represent where people have interaction and where comes the light at night. The size of the hole shows the activity and density of people of the location, and where ever the owner have visited will placed an acrylic mark that twinkle the story he got linked to the world.
Design Challenge: In order to visualize the concept, how to create a residence that provides both stableness as a 'home' and also fun that creates interaction with other people at the same time is quite challenging in this project.
Through leather and styled texture and textile selection to warm up the space from the iron coldness and clear glass is also one of the challenges for this case.
Research: Honoring the relationship and interaction between people is always the focus in aRctualize Lab's design. The owner is someone likes to make friends. He would like to bring the idea of 'feeling connected to the world' into his home design. Therefore, this is the core thing to think about throughout this project.
the design team implant this idea into the design and make the world map transform and represent the interaction between people on this land becoming the main feature. After a long day, when the owner came back home to rest and see through the light glimmer out from the world map that reflect and embraced himself into this active world.
Inspiration: HOME is a starting point for everyone before walking toward the world. It is a transition for the owner who just left his parent's house and bought his own in his 30s. Hoping the space becomes another starting point, through the connection and interaction with different people - a home that linked himself to the world.
Project Duration: 2019, New Taipei City
Operation Flow: The core is always the interaction between people and between spaces. The design team hope to create a comfortable home that can fit within different scale that creates the warmth of the space and stories to tie up people in all relationships.
The room measures only 35 square meters across, the design team think through all set up for the owner to keep its flexibility for all kinds of situations. It can be a cozy home for his alone time or using sliding partition to divide functions in the space for two or could be open up for a bigger group as well - to fulfill each different purposes within the space.
