About Layers Of Colours 住宅室內設計

《色彩層次》是一件為台灣台中一對年輕夫妻及其愛貓打造的住宅室內設計。此公寓進行了局部翻修，在有限的坪數內創造出大量收納空間與開闊視野。設計以色彩作為主要媒介：客廳地板結合兩種耐磨木地板，並延伸至餐廳牆面，以此界定室內各區域。電視牆採用白色石材搭配亮黃色板材，沙發牆則以藍色呈現。隱藏門設計使牆面保持簡潔完整，並營造流暢的動線。

Unique Properties: As much as powerful colors can be on the soul, the design team boldly utilized sharp colors and variable form to shape a rich spatial expression, with material detailing to trigger a psychological impulse. The living room floor was interwoven with two types of scratch-resistant timber flooring extended all the way to dining area wall to subtly demarcate interior domains.
Dimensions & Packaging: The designer placed two full-height storage cabinet which shaped the transition zone from the entrance to the living room where the vintage white color also evoked the elegance of the interior. While the entrance detailing such as the beautiful arc-angle design decimated the volumetric oppressions, as well as providing ventilation, the dining area brought warmth yet with a touch of personal tonality, as well as functional flexibility where it can be adjusted for the use by 2 or 4 people.

Design Challenge: The client wished to partially renovate this 12-year-old used apartment to have large storage space and open view. Given the limited budget and the humble interior footage, the design team was asked to think beyond the pre-conceived singular usage, and to synergize multiple functions so as to create optimal spatial economy. When considering the preserved section, the design team mixed and matched materials and colors to construct a warm and richly layered aesthetics ambiance.
Research: This project was the space for a young couple and their cats, with the public domain adopting a reserved grey-tone scheme with bold contrasting colors, a harmonious yet dramatic scenarios amongst the real and the virtual. While the entrance detailing decimated the volumetric oppressions, the dining area were treated with a personal warmth and functional flexibility. The master bedroom adopted white-masonry textured cabinets with symmetrical large storage embedded by painted glass and LED strips.
Inspiration: As far as the client of this project is concerned, the interior design would be the memory treasure bank for the entire family, as well as the container for dreams, as the client aspired for the serenity of country lifestyle, as well as the unique modern living, between which the design team utilized color as the medium to find the balance through diverse functionality portfolio, spacious circulation to outline the public and private domains that meet the everyday needs.
Project Duration: This project was completed in Taichung, Taiwan, in 2019.
Operation Flow: Given the limited floor area, the consideration for visual continuity was considered by the design team by utilizing the design of Hidden Doors to shape a clean-lined domain outlook with the added benefits of spacious interior and a flowing living circulation, which, when applied in the living room wall, the hidden bedroom door did create a visual extension through the circulation guide of cascading materials and colors.
