About Animitta 住宅室內設計

Animitta係一個位於台灣台中嘅住宅室內設計，基地面積達248平方米。設計以中央結構柱取代固定隔間，作為空間軸心，組織出放射狀嘅環形動線。各功能區域由傢俬佈置嚟界定，而一幅可旋轉嘅藝術牆令空間可以喺開放同私密狀態之間轉換。摺疊金屬板、白色飾面同曲線形實木地板營造出流動嘅空間感。斜向嘅抗震構件刻意外露，成為一種幾何特色。

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: The design abandons fixed partitions in favor of a decentralized landscape where every zone holds its own character. A central structural column serves as the spatial axis, organizing a radial order of movement. Visual elements such as structural features, rotating art walls, and furniture arrangements transform solid boundaries into fluid interfaces. Saturated orange serves as a gallery like visual tone, creating a strong contrast with the blue based artworks and ensuring spatial stability.
Dimensions & Packaging: The project covers a total site area of 248 square meters.

Production Technology: To manifest dynamic boundaries, the project employs folded metal panels and white finishes to mimic organic geometric diffusion. The exposed ceiling exhibits a raw structural aesthetic, contrasting with the precision of metal craftsmanship. Curvilinear solid wood flooring reinforces the language of flow. With structural engineer verification, diagonal seismic elements are intentionally left exposed, transforming a hidden structural necessity into a distinctive geometric aesthetic.
Design Challenge: The main challenge was balancing privacy within an open framework. The master bathroom uses half height walls and mirrors to create psychological enclosure through visual reflection. Achieving the precision of the folded metal panels required manual calibration piece by piece after initial attempts failed. Furthermore, exposing the seismic structure required rigorous safety verification to transform a concealed building element into a powerful geometric symbol of resilience.
Research: This project offers a highly flexible and sustainable model for high density urban housing. By maintaining the original structural framework and maximizing natural daylight, material consumption and energy demand are significantly reduced. The research focuses on how deconstructing traditional boundaries can foster psychological freedom while remaining environmentally conscious. Choosing durable classic furniture translates aesthetic needs into a sustainable practice for future living.
Inspiration: Animitta translates a profound philosophical concept into a tangible spatial identity system. This project reimagines traditional residential models for a client with a background in art and wine appreciation. By deconstructing conventional boundaries, the design redefines spatial elements as communicative symbols. The goal is to transform abstract ideas into a distinct, freely flowing residential brand that offers a visionary lifestyle proposition for contemporary urban living.
Project Duration: The project is located in Taichung, Taiwan and was completed in May 2023 after one year of work.
Operation Flow: Circulation follows a continuous loop anchored by a central column. Functions are defined by curatorial furniture, allowing behavioral scenarios to generate boundaries. A rotating art wall enables public and private areas to shift between open and secluded states. Lighting strategy prioritizes natural daylight to articulate volume. While the layout is extremely open, a guest suite for the elderly parent is discreetly enclosed to ensure a balance between openness and human centered privacy.
