The Design

About Side Face 住宅室內設計

將居住空間想像成一個被對角線切成兩半的長方體，其中每一半都可能是一個菱形，一個單獨的單元。這個概念轉化為在拼接處分割的活流。每個空間部分不僅是開放的、動態的、持續靈活的運動，而且還微妙地瀰漫著東方氣息。總體規劃沒有任何未使用的空間；此外，它不僅包括開放式、寬敞的通道，而且還為老年人提供了適合居住的條件和多功能生活方式的無障礙設計。

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.
