Wooden elements and plants give the space a natural character. Custom iron parts and wall trusses serve as perches for the parrot.

Design Details

Unique Properties
In the co-living residence of parrot–human, the living style of residents as well as the habits of the parrot should be taken into consideration to create a pet-friendly space that meets the needs of each family member. Abundant organic wooden elements infuse the warmth coming out from the depths of the forest, while the trusses and ironworks on the wall allow the parrot to perch on.
Inspiration
The couple treat the parrot as a member of the family. They love and care for it like their own child. To embody the love across species, a triangular roof in the common area creates an image of a birdcage. It symbolizes a family of three under the same roof and brings every family member closer. To fulfill the needs of the parrot, the entryway is decorated with ironworks to serve as perches. Veneer and plants give the room an earthy vibe and a beautiful natural aesthetic.
Research
The partitions in the study room and kitchen do not attach to the ceiling to preserve the unobstructed space at top for the parrot to fly freely as well as strengthening the interaction between the owners and the parrot. In the semi-open study room, the walls are installed with storage cabinets and bed frame to make hosting overnight guests a breeze. Roller blinds are fitted inside of the glass partition to maintain privacy inside.
Challenge
In terms of the design of canopy, high ceilings ensure good ventilation and maximize the living space for the parrot. The sloped triangular roof invokes the image of a birdcage to strengthen family bonds, and conceals the structural beams and air conditioner, making the design aesthetically gratifying, yet functional and pragmatic. Low beams span across the hanging light fixtures, and the triangular trusses on the outside soften the oppressiveness of the volume. The surface is covered with gray mineral paint to create rich layers in colors.
Realization and Technology
Layered environmental protection material, calcium silicate board, bamboo charcoal all effect anti-formaldehyde latex paint, mineral paint, Moisture-proof plastic plywood, wood grain plastic floor, customized iron parts, tempered glass, flame-proof and antibacterial curtain.
Operation and Interaction
In the common area, the open floor plan brings natural light into the home and eliminates the disadvantage of single-sided lighting, allowing the residence to be immersed in soft white warm light. Upon opening the door, the hexagonal tiles in Morandi gray delineate the entryway that stop dust from ever entering the home, while the colors of low chroma serve as a transition zone from the outside to the inside to create a stable visual sense gradually.
Project Duration and Location
The project is finished in June 2022 in New Taipei City, Taiwan.
Specifications
In the space of 56 square meters, there are an entrance, one living room, one dining room, one kitchen, one bedroom, one semi-open study room and one bathroom.
