About White Forest 住宅室内设计

「白色森林」是位于台中一处约42坪住宅的室内设计案。空间规划包含玄关、厨房、餐厅、客厅与书房,以及主卧与主浴、次卧与次卫。设计拆除多余隔墙,修正原始格局歪斜且过度分割的问题。玄关的灰色磨石子地坪串联厨房与餐厅;大理石、镜面、玻璃砖与实木染色饰面,呼应山石、泉水与花卉的意象,铝质灯带则带来柔和的间接照明。

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: After calibrating the design elements exquisitely, the designer applied accurate and coordinated ratio transformations between abstracts and concretes and further delivered a visual depth of field through various methodical features. Meanwhile, the terrazzo base with shades of gray has drawn a parallel towards the odd rocks in forests. Concretes can be seen from the entryway marble facade, artworks of Taiwanese artists that were glaze fired and painted, and the three-stamen furnishing at the vista of the hallway.
Dimensions & Packaging: The indoor area is around 42 ping; this design included the entryway, the kitchen, the dining room, the living room, and the study of the public space; and the private area including the master bedroom and bathroom, and the secondary bedroom and bathroom.
Tags: flowers blooming, relaxing, silence and pure, pink
Production Technology: Special paint, marbles, jet glasses, hardware, aluminum light band, painted solid wood, mirrors, glass tiles, grindstones, stretch cloth.
Design Challenge: To combine all individual design elements into the room, the designer has applied metaphor methods to carefully hold onto the ratio of the part. For example, the light band that expands with areas strips that metaphor classic while visually outlining the sense of technology. Meanwhile, the grains and texture on materials symbolized the imagery of flowers, odd rocks, mountain springs, and others within the space. With the ratio arrangements of abstracts and concretes, a progressive depth of field is elaborated; all elements endued with characteristics, and are placed in each corner harmonically.
Research: To solve the distorted and multi-partitioned original spatial, the designer has remodified the surface. Abstract designing metaphors are used to elaborate the mountain springs, the odd rocks, the flowers, and other natural sights. The designer applied an open-ended method at the public area; a grindstone base is used as the go-between to create the entryway, the dining room, the kitchen, and other public areas. With the placing position of the desk and the sofa, a hidden border is created to divide the living room and the study.
Inspiration: The designer applied Language of Flowers as the central concept and combined it with the touches of that trip to create layers of emotions. The depth of the elements is composed between abstracts and concretes; the language of flowers is shaped with abstracts, comparing humans to stamens. Within the transformations of lights and shadows, different appearances and colors are shown through the changing of time: Eternity shall bloom in the bottom of one heart, a pure flower with beauty and infinity.
Project Duration: The project finished in Jun 2021 in Taichung.
Operation Flow: Traffic flow arrangements often affect users emotions and the space practicality. The designer removed unnecessary walls to remodify the structure to solve the originally distorting and blocking spatial issue. Using the gray grindstones of the entryway as the go-between, the kitchen and the dining room are connected. At the same time, the open-end method is applied to weaken formal definitions towards space; overmuch decorations are ignored, while the sofa and the study desk are placed in the middle of the room, allowing children to move within the area freely without limitations.
