About Inner Vastness 住宅室內設計

《內在浩瀚》係一個位於台灣、面積112.3平方米嘅住宅室內設計項目。整體佈局包括兩間睡房、一個客廳、一個飯廳、一個室內花園同兩間浴室。開放式佈局構成公共區域，而弧形佈局則塑造出室內花園嘅形態，與窗外透入嘅光線互相呼應。一幅玻璃屏風將花園同公共區域分隔開來。設計特別著重通風同自然採光，並透過排氣系統將空氣引導至屋內每個角落。玄關位置則以庭院燈作補充照明。所用物料包括鐵、玻璃同瓷磚。

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: In the open plan space, in addition to the spaciousness and practicality, the designer emphasizes ventilation and lighting. The designer carefully evaluates the brightness of light in the space and brings light and greenery into the room through the indoor garden. Secondly, the designer eliminated the unidirectional convective wind direction of the long space through the exhaust system and direct the natural wind to all corners of the space. At the same time, the designer visualizes the flow of the interior through curved lines.
Dimensions & Packaging: The project is 112.3 square meters with 2 bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, an indoor garden, and 2 bathrooms. The designer takes an open plan to create a public area and a curved plan to create an indoor garden in the living room that echoes the light from the windows. The glass screen delineates the private garden from the public area, allowing the users to enjoy exclusive time in each area. Whether gardening, flower arranging, viewing, sunbathing, reading, or dining, the spacious public area is in a completely different way with the clever configuration of the zones.
Tags: Indoor garden, Introduce the view into the room, Green building materials, Natural lighting, Lighting and ventilation.
Production Technology: Iron, glass, tile, hand paint, base paint, curve design, hand paint, air purification system.
Design Challenge: The site is humid and therefore requires a special base paint and a ventilation system to maintain the best balance of humidity and dryness. The next thing is to overcome the crosses in the ceilings of the public area. Considering the height of the client and not wanting to reduce the height of the space to decorate the beams, the designer supplements the curved trim with elegant colors to echo the walls and furnishings to form a harmonious and extended aesthetic while eliminating the abruptness and oppressiveness of the cross beams.
Research: The space is customized for the client in terms of aesthetics, functionality, and convenience of living. The height of the gas stove and countertop, the configuration of the dining room seating and tatami area, and the selection of the bathtub are all customized for the client. These furnishings look good and are ergonomic, making life more pleasant. It is worth mentioning that the designer emphasizes ventilation and lighting. In areas where natural light is relatively insufficient, such as the entrance area, patio lights are installed to supplement the lighting.
Inspiration: Create a space for a dialogue with the occupants! Between the light, plants, coffee, and books, the bright natural lighting and breeze construct every moment of freedom in the home. The designer uses space design to create the best habitat for the soul. A perfect balance of life is no need to deliberately search for, people can close their eyes and feel the resonance between space and themselves, the "inner vastness" hidden in people's hearts.
Project Duration: The project finished in February 2022 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow: Unlike the traditional living room layout, the project is divided by the living style of the client. Since the client does not spend much time watching TV, the initial planning of the living room did not make TV the core of the living room. Considering the client's working habits and resting needs, the designer places the sofa in front of the elaborate glass indoor garden. Under the customized planning, the public area has more living applications and the original windows can form another complete sitting area with the indoor garden.
