Inspiration

In this project, the atmosphere of leisure and vacation is represented and developed in a pure white and gentle tone. The black lines jumping on the facade create a unique brushstroke on the canvas, the unique character of the project was portrayed between the depth and contrast. In another dimension of design thinking process, special angles such as arcs and bevels are presented in different forms in the space. Through the design team delicate arrangements, sleek and modern vision, the balance of interior shapes and proportions is created to provide the client a no-burden holiday house.

Research

OCEAN is located on the Aihe River estuary. The flowing scenery of the small bridge and the distant seascape bring unlimited business close to the nature. The design team understands the advantages of the environment and combines the project as the client leisure residence, create the local scenery into the room. The color with the contrast of black and white, the material is staggered with wood, stone, and iron. The outline is guided by the curved surface to create a space where natural primitive and modern technology coexist.

Challenge

The arc wave design applied at all corners also needs to be matched with fine engineering methods in actual implementation. Through the utilization of the customized system cabinet and the master of the woodwork, the design team creates an interesting angle in the space with the curved edge of the woodwork and the upright cabinet barrel in the space. Other materials, such as the partial curved mirror surface, are also made by the carpenter first, and then handed over to the glass factory for plate making and then processed and assembled on site.

Realization and Technology

In this project, the first comfortable impression is represented by the warmth of the wooden floor. Carefully look at the dining room and living room, the different wood grain textures subtly divide the space areas, and secondly, the marble is used to lay the space tabletop and detailed furniture, to create a natural primitive sense of wood and stone in the space. The black iron pieces are connected in series on the facade to bring a bit of industrial-style visual balance, and add some modern design touch to the mirror.

Operation and Interaction

The arc elements that run through the lifeblood of the design of the case are fully applied in the details of the facade, ceiling, cabinet design, and flat edge trim. The curvy design not only leads to a rounded vision, but the curves of the corners and cabinet corners also bring a more comfortable and safe feeling to the circulation. In addition, a small space with a curved wooden louvers design in the back of the living room can be used for office reading. The compound block combines the rear cabinet, staggered shelves and green plants to enrich the view, making the holiday home more intimate.

Project Duration and Location

The project finished in February 2016 in Taipei, Taiwan.

Specifications

In order to build a standard residential space that meets the client comfort and nature, the design team hopes that the height of the living room should not be so low, and at the same time facing the defect of the central support beam, the design team then designed the arc-shaped beam to create a unique wave of fun in the ceiling, and used the arc-shaped beams to make the height difference of the living room, so that when the user enters the living room from the door, there can be a releasing feeling.
