The Design

About Side Face 住宅室内设计

将居住空间想象成一个被对角线切成两半的长方体，其中每一半都可能是一个菱面体，一个单独的单元。这个概念转化为在拼接处分割的活流。每个空间部分不仅是开放的、动感的、持续灵活的运动，而且还微妙地弥漫着东方气息。总体规划没有任何未使用的空间；此外，它不仅包括开放式、宽敞的通道，而且还为老年人提供了适合居住的条件和多功能生活方式的无障碍设计。

Dimensions & Packaging: Construction area 213 square meter.

Production Technology: To maximize the free plan and match the composed and philosophical tastes of residents, interior material encompassing marbles, wood veneers, natural stone skins, and hairline stainless steel trims to subtly delineate spatial expression of each area with a tint of oriental touch.
Design Challenge: Regarding details of the accessible design of this project, it not only considers wide passages in every corner, but also the layout is fully planned without any unused space.
Research: The master-plan affords residents to cater for different sizes of family or friend gatherings, enriching their retirement life.
Inspiration: Conceive of the living space as a cuboid diagonally cut into two halves. Each half is likely a rhombohedron, an individual unit, and able to joint with one another. Thus, the public areas and private rooms are not merely compartmentalized in vertical or horizontal arrays, but to be probed into lateral perspectives.
Project Duration: Started from June 2019 and finished in Jan 2020, Taipei city.
Operation Flow: The living flows are divided in the secant of splice: starting from the entrance to the dining area, there are spacious rooms to get along with family, or cater guests and most socializing activities; whereas, private bedrooms and master walk-in closet are hidden alongside the wall. Through spatial linear arrangement, the space is not only open plan but preserves privacy, dynamic and sustaining flexible movement.
