About Salute to the S 住宅室內設計

「向S致敬」係一個位於台灣台北、面積78平方米嘅住宅室內設計項目,為一家三口而規劃。空間佈局靈感源自Philippe Starck嘅設計哲學,喺極簡主義同極繁主義、光與暗之間取得平衡。餐區上方裝有一盞大型不規則天花燈,以凹凸透鏡嘅相互作用構成,燈光色彩不斷變幻。中島周圍設有嵌入式卡座,為聚會提供更多座位。全屋採用低VOC認證嘅油漆同板材,並使用LED燈具。

Unique Properties: Spanning 78 square meters, this project presents an inventive residential typology, inspired by Philippe Starck’s notable works and his design philosophy. Designed with the occupants’ lifestyle in mind, the interior planning explores the undertones of Starck’s design contexts, aiming to provide the occupants not only a well-equipped apartment, but also a state-of-the-art way of living.
Dimensions & Packaging: Construction area 78 square meter.
Tags: Modern design, subversive design, creative, contemporary design
Production Technology: The giant, mirror-shaped, irregular ceiling light pays homage to Starck’s masterpiece, which works on the interplay between concave and convex lenses. While the light color shifts, a splendid, surreal atmosphere imbues the dining area. The built-in banquette maximizes seating around the island, encouraging intimate gatherings and creating a tasteful lifestyle with a sense of occasion.
Design Challenge: Complemented by soft furnishings, a white-based, well-structured, and linear-layered backdrop frames the view of the surrounding greenery. A lumpy red carpet that can be moved adds a playful vibrancy to the sunlit and minimal living area. The main wall stretches in an elongated arc, leading a slithering transition toward the dining section.
Research: To comply with sustainable consciousness, only eco-friendly materials were applied during the construction. For example, both the paint and carpentry boards are low VOC and GREENGUARD certified. Lighting fixtures are assembled with LED devices to efficiently save energy.
Inspiration: Through a serial arrangement of Starck’s iconic signatures, the space is full of a tapestry of contrasts. Clean-lined, contrasting and subversive design elements establish a spatial narrative that feels both simple and sensual, echoing the essence of modern artistry. Backlit indirect lighting accentuates layers of dynamic streamlines, unveiling a sense of fluid movement. Living flows gently between the light and the dark, minimalism and maximalism, stillness and motion, enriching the family in a harmonious rhythm of artistry and innovation which is deeply connected to modern aesthetics.
Project Duration: Taipei city, Taiwan
Operation Flow: This apartment benefits from sweeping mountain views, embracing its natural surroundings for the family of three. At the entrance, a round-angled pillar demarcates the space into distinct areas, while the horn-shaped ceiling evokes Starck’s understated design motif. Along the pseudo-cement paneled pathway, the color palette transitions from pale hues to deep, multi-textured tone in the culinary section. While the overall ambiance varies, the dining area inherits the symbols of Starck with a theatrical twist.
