Design Details
- Unique Properties
- This residence is defined by its solution to complex architectural challenges. The key advantage is the innovative way it addresses the original building's irregular layout and large structural elements. The designer uses an inclined wall and integrates the study with the TV wall to conceal beams and columns, creating a unified and visually stunning feature.
- Inspiration
- This project was inspired by the challenge of transforming a raw space with irregular angles, large beams, and columns into a cohesive, elegant home. The core idea was to turn these architectural imperfections into unique design highlights. The design aesthetic was born from a fusion of wabi sabi philosophy and modern luxury, aiming to create a calm, layered atmosphere.
- Research
- The project's engineering is a testament to its innovative problem solving. The design integrated a study and TV wall to manage large structural beams, creating a cohesive and artistic focal point. An AI system was implemented to manage environmental controls, including a unique feature that automatically adjusts indoor lighting based on natural light levels to reduce energy consumption. The master bathroom's faucet, which integrates soap storage, and the anodized copper door with a gradient "dusk mapping" effect, are examples of how aesthetic details are backed by functional engineering and craftsmanship.
- Challenge
- The primary challenges were the inherent architectural flaws of the original space, including irregular corners and large beams and columns. The creative hurdle was to transform these imperfections, which typically create visual clutter and incoherent spatial lines, into intentional design features. A technical challenge was integrating an AI system that could not only control various devices but also provide intelligent, energy saving automation. This required meticulous planning to ensure technology, function, and aesthetics were aligned without compromising the calm, wabi sabi inspired atmosphere.
- Realization and Technology
- The design focuses on spatial optimization and material layering. The designer used a strategic inclined wall at the entryway to naturally guide the eye into the living room, solving the spatial incoherence. The living room and study were combined to conceal large beams and columns, creating a cohesive visual statement. Material selection emphasizes a blend of textures, with a panDOMO base, special paints, and imported tiles creating a tactile, layered feel. Furniture and lighting from Italy add refined detail, and the plasma glass in the study allows for flexible transparency and privacy.
- Operation and Interaction
- The AI intelligent system provides automated control over lighting, curtains, and air conditioning, which can be configured for energy savings based on outdoor light levels. The public area is designed with the bar as a central point, creating a fluid, full perspective space for family interaction. The corridor in the private area is transformed into a small living room by strategically combining the angles of the doors, making a once narrow space a relaxing, multifunctional lounge.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project finished in 2024 in Taiwan.
- Specifications
- This is a 224 sqm residence.
