About The Sequence in Grating Indlu Yokuhlala

Umklamo uhlose ukusungula uhlelo ngaphakathi endaweni engenahlelo. Ngokufaka inhlanganisela yezihlukanisi zendawo ezicatshangwayo nezingokoqobo kanye nokusebenzisa izinto zokuhlobisa ezicacile ezijwayelekile, ukusebenzisana phakathi kokukhanya kwemvelo nokwenziwe kudala umphumela wokubona oguquguqukayo. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, indawo isebenza njengesingathekiso esibonisa ukudlula kwesikhathi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, uhlelo lombala olungafani kancane, oluhlanganiswe nohlelo lokukhanyisa oluhleliwe ngokucophelela kanye neqoqo lomnikazi, luthuthukisa ikhwalithi yobuciko yangaphakathi.

Unique Properties: Finding order in disordered space is the goal of our space operation. Through the separation of virtual and solid facades and the standard translucent decorative materials, natural light and artificial light sources are intertwined in the space. As time goes by, the space becomes like The carrier records the mark of time.
In terms of space color, we use the same color scheme, match the lighting plan, and the owner’s collection to make the space artistic.
Dimensions & Packaging: Space area 107 square meters

Production Technology: We hope to use the grating diffraction phenomenon to feel the flow of time in space, so we have made the following attempts to achieve a visual effect:
1. Irregular wood veneer facade divisions.
2. Wooden grille cabinet door.
3. Continuing on from the above, aluminum extruded light bars are installed in the cabinet to create virtual and real light and shadow changes with the grille door.
4. The island chandelier in the restaurant adopts a regular sequence of glass shapes.
5. The living room adopts regular sequence of Hunter Douglas Luminette® Shades silk curtains.
6. Continuing on from the above, remove a room in the space to increase the sense of space in the living room and maximize the changes in light and shadow.
7. Try to show the texture of the material itself.
8. Following on from the above, stone and metal are more timeless materials than natural wood veneer.
Design Challenge: This is a fully customized private residence. The owner hopes that the decoration props in the space are unique, so we process the details of the hard furnishings like handicrafts. When the shape and size are very detailed, the sense of luxury can be more prominent. For example, the grille on the cabinet door is made of 10mm X 10mm wooden strips and covered with water-dyed wood veneer, which not only makes the cabinet breathable, but also has the value of craftsmanship.
Research: As early as 125 AD in the Pantheon in ancient Rome, the architect introduced light and the external environment from the dome to create a relationship between indoors and outdoors; to modern Japanese architect Tadao Ando , he delicately introduces light and shadow into the building and elevates it to a spiritual level. Therefore, I try to let light pass through gratings of various materials to create a relationship of light and shadow in space and record the trajectory of time.
Inspiration: "Light not only travels in straight lines, refracts and reflects, but it can also travel in a fourth way, through diffraction.", Francesco Grimaldi said.
Light is the best designer of space given by God. When light shines on various materials, it will produce various optical phenomena, which are reflected in the space, such as grating diffraction. Light is like a poet, telling stories and ideas in space.
Project Duration: The project was started in September 2022.
The project was planned and discussed in November 2022.
The project was finalized with final 3D renderings in February 2023.
The construction drawings was completed in April 2023.
The project began construction in May 2023.
The project was finalized in February 2024 in New Taipei City, Taiwan.
Operation Flow: Recording the process of light moving in space is like writing a diary. If the paper is large enough, more content can be recorded. Therefore, we demolished relatively unimportant rooms in the space to improve the lighting effect of the space. In fact, it also made the living room more usable and allowed family members to spend more time communicating in the living room. This is the wonderful influence of space design.
