About Pattern of Nature 住宅室內設計

《自然之紋》係一個座落於台灣新北市、面積198平方米嘅住宅室內設計項目。屋內沒有柱子,粗壯嘅橫樑猶如網狀交錯,承托住成個空間。設計上將天花板降低,並將冷氣設備隱藏起嚟,藉此平衡高低落差,同時減輕橫樑喺視覺上嘅壓迫感。一條水平線沿住主牆延伸,將主人房、開放式廚房、客用洗手間同第二間睡房連貫起嚟。部分牆身改用半透光玻璃,等日光可以從三個方向引入室內。

Unique Properties: For this project, there is no pillar in the nearly 200 square-meters space, and the structure relies on thick beams like a spider web structure to carry the entire space. Without the constraints of the pillars, it seems that we can divide the space willingly. On the contrary, we must think more carefully about the response of the space and the ceiling, and reduce the pressure caused by the beams through the design.
Dimensions & Packaging: 198 Sqm

Production Technology: Before starting to think about each case, we will communicate according to the needs and preferences of the users, and then we will analyze the space and extend the style. In the layout of the plane, we will think about the scale and proportion at the same time, and deepen the integrity of the space. During the process, we experienced communication and coordination with users, and slowly shaped the space into the most suitable appearance.
Design Challenge: The space has the rare advantage of lighting on three sides, while the private areas are evenly divided on both sides of the space. By moderately releasing part of the wall, we changed it to translucent glass to connect the master bedroom and the end of the corridor. The glass draws light into the room, preserving the most precious light and shadow stories in the space.
Research: The homeowner is hospitable and pays attention to the intimacy of the family. It is expected that the larger the public area, the better, while the private area is the opposite. We grab a horizontal line from the whole space to the main beam, and the whole wall runs through the master bedroom, open kitchen, guest toilet and second bedroom from left to right. The clean and complete facade is the visual focus through the warm wood tone base. At the same time, the area of the living room and dining room is enlarged, and the oppressive feeling of the long beam is also hidden. For short beams, we lowered the ceiling to the highest point and concealed the air-conditioning equipment, balancing the height difference between the ceiling and the beams, making the beams invisible through design techniques.
Inspiration: The protagonist in the space is the homeowner’s favorite open kitchen. In addition to being located in the center of the main visual facade, it is also equipped with a "ㄇ"shaped working area and independent air conditioning. The design of folding doors and horizontal sliding windows can be adapted to the needs of the user. The change seems to transparently cover the kitchen into an independent individual. In addition of being open, the outward facade can also be used as a bar counter to gather with friends and enjoy.
Project Duration: The project started in November 2019 and finished in November 2020 in New Taipei City,Taiwan.
Operation Flow: We hope to continue the meaning of our company's name in Chinese. We give every space a configuration, color tone, texture and temperature that suits them. We hope that every space is unique, warm and pure. The low-saturated color and natural texture, coupled with the appropriate configuration and spatial scale, make the space naturally full of vitality and comfortable feelings.
