Lo mqondo ushintsha ube ukuhamba okuphilayo okuhlukaniswe ngesiqephu se-splice. Isigaba ngasinye sendawo asikona nje kuphela uhlelo oluvulekile, oluguqukayo nolusekelayo oluvumelana nezimo, kodwa futhi lufakwe ngobuqili nge-tint ye-ambience yasempumalanga.

Unique Properties: Nowadays, most developing countries are confronted with aging society issues. Considering the residents of this apartment are senior citizens, who are planning to spend their retirement here, the holistic master-planning not only comprises open-plan, roomy passage, and accessible design to accommodate habitable conditions to the elders, but also provides a better lifestyle encompassing multiple functions.
Dimensions & Packaging: Construction area 213 square meter.
Tags: Accessible Design, Aging Society, Multiple Functions, Marble, Wood Veneer, Contemporary Design
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.
