About Green Nest 公寓室內設計

綠巢是一個位於台灣新北市嘅住宅公寓室內設計項目。呢個85平方米嘅住宅包含兩間睡房、兩間浴室、一間工作室，以及一個開放式嘅客廳、飯廳同廚房空間。唔同高度嘅深樑令呢個細小嘅空間顯得壓迫。多變嘅天花板設計配合鏤空部分，營造出光影效果，並增添視覺焦點。水磨石地板貫通玄關、廚房同飯廳，而工作室就用咗直紋玻璃，既引入光線又保持私隱。木材同礦物塗料為空間增添層次感，弧形設計則提升咗動線流暢度同安全性。

Production Technology: Using terrazzo as floor material to integrate the space for foyer, kitchen and dining area, but also define the space for living space.
And the use of the reeded glass gave the working space both transparency and privacy, while the wood and mineral paint added depth and character to the space.
Design Challenge: Because this new building had lots of girders and beams not only in the living space but also in the bedrooms, how to satisfy the need of providing space for upcoming babies, friends or parents' visiting, and working at home in this 75 sqm apartment, while reducing the sense of oprresion caused by the existing structures became the main issue in this case.
Research: The goal of this project is to create a warm and inviting indoor space while addressing the sense of oppression caused by the existing deep beams. To achieve this objective, the team explored various approaches to ceiling treatments and light manipulation, drawing inspiration from numerous case studies including Valerio Olgiati, Louis Kahn, and, most importantly, ongoing plan revisions. While considering aesthetics, the project also takes into account practicality and budget constraints. Each form and void serves a specific purpose, while also concealing ample storage space within the walls.
Inspiration: This space originally had beams with different heights, making the already small space look more oppressive. However, this constraint also serves as a source of inspiration. This project utilizes various ceiling designs with hollowed-out sections to create different lighting and shadow effects, also adding focal points to the living space and alleviating the original sense of oppression.
Project Duration: Design period lasted for 4 months, and the construction took 6 months.
Operation Flow: The curved shape gave the sense of flow and became harmless for the upcoming baby. The integration of storage and pelmet made the space minimalist yet functional.
Style should not be a means, but a natural end.
