About Light and Shadow Umsebenzi Wangaphakathi Wezindlu Zokuhlala

I-Light and Shadow ingumklamo wangaphakathi wendlu enezitezi ezimbili enendawo yesibonelo esilinganiselwa ku-562 wamamitha ahlangothi lonke. Uhlelo oluvulekile lugcina imibono nokukhanya kwemini kugeleza endlini yonke. Iminyango eminingi enamashashalazi agobile ichaza izindawo ezinkulu futhi idale amafreyimu ambozekile agxilisa ukunakekelwa. Izitebhisi ezigobile, isango eliphakeme, izinto zebhodi elula elinemigqa kanye nodonga lwe-television olwakhiwe ngendlela yeziko lomlilo kuveza isitayela esifudumele saseMelika. Amafasitela ekhoneni ngalinye axhumanisa izindawo zokuhlala zangaphakathi notshani obungaphandle. Kusetshenziswa i-wood veneer, amathayela, ukuphothuliwe kwamatshe kanye nesikuba somgwaqo wamapulangwe.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: This project adopts an open space concept to maintain visual penetration and light flow and defines the main functions of each area by the design of multiple arch-doors. At the same time, it creates a progressive level like a courtyard and layered frames that result in a focusing effect, which allows the space used to follow the light and shadow.
Dimensions & Packaging: This is a two-story design project, with an approximate floor area of 562 square meters. The first floor is planned to be an entrance area, living room, dining room, kitchen, master bedroom, parents room, guest room, and four bathrooms. The second floor is configured with two sets of the living room and bar area, dressing room, sleeping area, and bathroom.
Tags: Neo-classical, American style, light and shadow, residential design
Production Technology: Wood veneer, Tiles, Stone finish, Wood flooring.
Design Challenge: The main challenge of this case is the use of materials. As the owner wants to use super-wear-resistant flowing for the interior area, but when it is used in Taiwanese home with a super humid climate, thermal expansion and contraction must be reserved in advance, in order to prevent deformation in the future, but also have to have a beautiful visual effect on the joint areas. This truly requires special attention during construction.
Research: In response to the clients American style preference, this work integrates curved staircases, high scale entrance, simple and elegant line board elements, and fireplace-shaped TV walls to achieve the style. On the one hand, natural light needs to be passed through the entire indoor field to provide sufficient lighting for practical functions, enhancing openness, and saving energy. By using pure white tones as the spatial background, light does not only change moments but also intertwines with peoples walking behavior to create a virtual and dynamic interlaced and rhythmic expression, linking the tracks and memories of life.
Inspiration: As the clients ask for the warm and casual American style; the layout configuration, color expression, and styling language of the room are based on this request. Because the site provides good ventilation, light, and scenery, so that we utilize all those advantages by placing windows in every corner to provide views, and make the indoor living area and grassland outside well-connected.
Project Duration: The project finished in August 2019 in Taichung City, Taiwan.
Operation Flow: We clearly define the purpose of each space unit through the suitable plan configuration, yet at the same time blur the boundaries between each other, such as the entrance area and public indoor area, living room and dining room, living room and outdoor green space, which allow air and light to flow fairly, and enable people to interact with each other.
