About Family Tree 住宅室內設計

《家族樹》係台灣新店翡翠水庫保護區內一棟四十年老屋嘅住宅室內設計。呢座建築經過結構評估同加固，以保存建築物嘅回憶同故事。外牆用白色釉面磚裝飾，地板用石材馬賽克鋪砌。大理石地板配合開放式格局，消除咗視覺上嘅分隔，而中央嘅螺旋樓梯則營造出自由流暢嘅動線。舊有嘅材料，例如原本圍牆嘅高嶺土，都得到重新利用。每個區域都反映咗一位家庭成員嘅興趣。

Unique Properties: This renovated 40-year residence is located in the Feitsui Reservoir Protection Area of Xindian. The designer first evaluated and reinforced the structure, hoping to preserve and inherit the memories and stories of the building. Since the walls and floorings are historical, the outer wall is redecorated with white glazed tiles and the flooring with stone mosaic. A refreshing new style is developed for the residence.
Dimensions & Packaging: Taiwanese BA black jade(marble), Taiwanese white marbles, kaolinites, granites, mosaic tiles, carbonized plywood, Lotol, black glasses, terrazzo tiles, and glass tiles.
Tags: sustain, emotional and heart-warming, old and new elements, emotional connections
Production Technology: Hoping to preserve and inherit the memories and stories of the building. Took advantage of the natural surroundings and achieved environmentally friendly by pulling the residence closer to nature. The light mirrors the trace of years of the residence while the marble floorings have eliminated divisions as if the ground is the reflection of a pond. The punch of the front door has slightly shown the views outside the house of glass; meanwhile, it has allowed the southwesterly flow to slip into the residence during summers, improving air circulation while achieving visual expansion.
Design Challenge: To collect thoughts and suggestions of the ten household members, the designer handed out surveys to understand each unique interest, collecting hobbies comprehensively and expectations for their future living space. Hence, merging all requirements and dreams into the family tree as much as possible has turned into a challenging task for the designer.
Research: The designer adopted the concept of sustain. For example, reusing old materials (kaolinites of the fence are transformed into the floorings of the garage entrance), remodeling (collage marbles on the floorings are renovated), or selecting natural building materials to join and combine the overall (traditional stone-made fence merging with concrete columns and wall extensions). The open-end configuration has eliminated divisions and directions; by using the spiral staircase as the center, a free traffic flow is created. The client personal collection has also been placed in several corners.
Inspiration: This design is inspired by the natural sceneries of mountains and waters. The designer used the spiral staircase in the middle of the residence as an inspiration for a family tree and adapted the concept of co-existing from the ten-household family. Hence, the interior is equipped with several styles according to each family member characteristics and preferences, as if every individual area represents its personality and functionality like a family tree.
Project Duration: The project finished in February 2021 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow: The critical point of this project is to present and inherit the family legacy and philosophy through old and new materials. To collect thoughts and suggestions of the ten household members, the designer handed out surveys to understand each unique interest, collecting hobbies comprehensively and expectations for their future living space. Hence, merging all requirements and dreams into the family tree as much as possible has turned into a challenging task for the designer.
