About Rebirth 办公室室内设计

《重生》是一处办公空间的室内设计，坐落于一条狭窄巷弄底层、拥有四十年历史的旧仓库之中。设计拆除了原有的室内隔墙，使砖墙与混凝土夹板结构裸露呈现，既改善通风、调节湿度，又减少了墙面霉变。玻璃与铁件取代了传统木作，使各部件可拆卸、可回收、可再利用。玻璃入口将自然光引入室内，串联起室内外空间。铺设木纹砖的走廊连接着接待区与办公区，植物则于墙体缝隙间生长蔓延。

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Unique Properties: The forty years old warehouse is located on the first floor in a narrow lane. In the environment affected by orographical rain for years, it has the serious problem of wall mold. The designer dismantled interior walls to keep the brick walls and concrete plywood without additional decoration to allow more ventilation and adjust moisture. Carpentry is rarely used in the space. Instead, a large quantity of glass and iron pieces can be easily removed, recycled, reused to reduce pollution.

Production Technology: The entrance is built with glass and iron pieces to visually extend the outdoor and indoor space. The ceiling molding is dismantled to expose the track lights. The right side of the front field is reception. The fragmented red brick walls are preserved, and a large wood table is placed casually. On the left side, the open space displays some old things or the collected antique furniture. The back field is the office. The LED lights compose the major lighting. The custom made iron book shelves are accompanied by a ladder to create the European attic style. The concept of the green wall makes the space full of the natural vitality.
Design Challenge: None
Research: The glass door introduces the outdoor light to upgrade the indoor brightness. The wall surface is dismantled to keep the brick walls and concrete plywood without additional decoration to allow more ventilation, adjust moisture, and solve the problem of wall mold. Carpentry is rarely used. Instead, a large quantity of glass and iron pieces can be easily removed, recycled, and reused. The floor tiles in the toilet are preserved for the dogs while most of the public area is paved with the wood floor, which effectively defines the area for the pets to relieve themselves and maintain the cleanness.
The challenge is how to balance the visual beauty through the detailed embellishment after natural baring the basic structure of the concrete and brick wall without making the space look shabby and old.
Inspiration: The designer wants to keep the primitive ambiance of the indoor space and makes it into a studio. Dismantle all the walls and bare the basic structure of concrete and brick walls naturally. The embellishment of iron pieces, old things, dried flowers, and plants brings the boundless vitality. Some plants are grown in the seams of the walls, which has the spirit of returning to the nature and the metaphor for rebirth.
Project Duration: The project started in Sep. 2018 and finished in Mar. 2019 in Taipei, Taiwan.
Operation Flow: Glass is used to replace partition to prevent the distance between indoors and outdoors, and attract the passersby who may feel curious about the activities in the space. A corridor paved with the irregular wood pattern tiles connects the fields in the space. The most primitive look of the construction is kept. The arrangement of old things and antique furniture brings about a vintage style. The materials exhibition area is planned beside the window. In the experimental space, the owner will be able to imagine the details and feelings of the future house through the colors and textures.
