Interview with VOATT Design Studio

I think urban planning, architectural design, and space design are all fascinating subjects. Extremely challenging but also full of sensibility and art, it will be implemented in every case. I have absolute self-confidence in color and space. Usually, my creative inspiration is from the movie scene. For me, the most influential designer is Kelly Hoppen.

I think the first step in designing is to understand the client's needs, including the their ergonomics, habits, beliefs. Simulate the authenticity by planning and scenes of the plan with the aid of digital technology. Finally, make a lot of physical model to feel the real space composition and construction details. For a new project plan, I will first provide the creation of the overall space, and then do research and analysis.

When I start creating a new project, I always feel excited and expecting. In the process, I often feel the difficulties of frustration and how to choose a better construction method. But at the moment of completion, from the moment I see the happy appearance of the client, my heart will only full of emotion.

When I was a child, I liked reading, listening to music, painting and model making, and film producing. I believe that these interests are the main factors that make me a designer. I have developed the ability to observe and think, and the sensitivity to materials from these interests. And I believe that with a keen observation ability, it can bring better space for users.

Whenever I finish a case, I always feel that I have learned a lot of new things, which makes me grow stronger and become a better designer. I hope I can break the limitation and provide clients with the best materials and quality space in every design. And my dream design case is the home of the astronauts.

Cultivate the ability to observe things and continue to learn new knowledge and technology. My first design teacher once told me that "There is no answer to the design, but you can find the most appropriate answer in the constant experiment.". My own growth experience is through a lot of reading and taking photos and editing movies and finding out the relevance and possibilities.

Constantly learn about unknown things and maintain a keen observation of the environment. Don't stop designing because of failure or frustration. Try to find the most suitable material and construction method and present an aesthetic space structure. There is no absolute answer to the design, but there is a best way to do the design.

In fact, I only sleep for five hours a day, the rest of the time I'm always designing. But I always arrange travel during the holidays, because I can always learn more new things and experiences during the trip.

Our company name is "VOATT DESIGN", which means Visual, Olfactory, Auditory, Taste and Touch. We believe that good design is associated with our senses. We hope to create a space that combines senses by the composition of different materials and the combination of natural elements. "Let design become a part of life" is our core concept.

Good design is based on the cooperation and trust between the designer and the client and the construction team. Every moment requires the professional ability and dedication of everyone, so when the teamwork is in good cooperation, good design will be presented.

There is no absolutely complete design for me. In other words, every design seems to be more perfect after being used, but this is also the most fascinating part of the creative process, isn't it?

We are most proud of using modelling to study the possibilities of space. Some people think that we have spent too much time making models, but I think this is the best way to find a good design. We are designing a new office recently, it is a small building, old but charming. We continue to make models only for the division of the structure and visual proportion of the facade. We actually enjoy the process of finding answers in the creation.

I really like Kelly Hoppen, his control of space proportion and material is very fascinating and confident. If I had the chance, I would like to meet the architect Peter Zumthor, who always combines architecture with the most natural materials and creates simple and meaningful spaces.

We are young designers from Taiwan. The culture of Taiwan is open and diverse. We are happy to learn new knowledge and materials from all over the world. Therefore, we also actively participate in important competitions and events in various countries and learn about outstanding designers and works from all over the world.

We are a team of designers. Although my partner and I always have our ideas and viewpoint in the process of creation, but we will always find the favorite design as the work. We believe that the advantage of having a partner is that you can observe more subtle things and combine different suggestions to present a more perfect design.

We provide the best advice for people who need our profession, and we hope to bring people a better life through our designs. We expect to present our designs in every corner of the city in the future.

When we participated in A' Design Award, we met designers from all over the world and saw every outstanding design work. This is a very good experience and award, and we hope that we can participate in this competition every year in the future.

Design must combine art, aesthetics and practicality to improve the inconvenience of life and visual beauty. Life needs art value, otherwise the mind will be dry and poor, I think that is not a good thing.

The answer to this question is definitely stray animals! I want to build a building for them!

I want to operate the museum's planning, from buildings to interior design. The most shocking presentation of each display allows the visitors to truly absorb different knowledge.

I often watch movies, travel abroad, and will record every beautiful scene. The scale is very important in the interior design, so we will take a tape measure with us and watch the scene at any time.

There is a great design team, yabu pushelberg, their works are full of elegance and visual impact, let me learn the possibility of designing this aspect.

I really like Kelly Hoppen, his control of space proportion and material is very charming and confident.

I think the spinning bike room "HAPPY HOUR" we designed is a great design, simple, fast but very fascinating.

First, I think I must believe that I can make a good design, and I have to absorb enough knowledge. I think this is what a good designer should basically do.

I think I will be a volunteer vet! Go around to help stray animals.

I think it is easy to use, practical, not deliberately processed, makes it a good design.

My work partner gave me a lot of support and help. We spent every difficult time together and completed every impossible task. This makes me learn and grow a lot in this industry.

Before that, I was thinking about whether I was suitable for this industry every day. Am I suitable?

We are doing architectural planning for our new office. This is a space for the design team after years of practical experience. I hope to bring different space feelings to the clients.

I hope to bring the best ideas of interior design to the clients, and to make life full of aesthetics is the most needed spiritual comfort for this generation.

I hope to create more beautiful and unexpected design and help our client get their satisfied space.

Design is used to solve problems, and every practical design can bring considerable benefits to society.

I like to discuss problems with the workers at the construction site and come up with the most suitable solution.

I think that our project "HAPPY HOUR" makes me very satisfied, exactly the same as the image I started in my mind!

Product design.

The design of each case is not the same. Some cases took 10 minutes to get the inspiration, but some had to plan for 2~3 years.

I will start by finding for the case images and floor plan.

My motto is "Things are not difficult and simple, only whether they are executed or not yet executed."

Trends set the designs, just like different generations create different artistic styles and artists.

The style of the space affects the color and material, including the color that the client likes, which will affect the design.

My work partners often provide great advice, I think collaborative design is sometimes needed and necessary.

, Beaty born, not made

I continue to accumulate practical experience to test different scales, materials and colors.

鈴木雅之(すずき まさゆき), Japanese director.

In fact, this is the first award our company has received. This is what we have gained through 4 years of hard work and persistence. So, yes, it is not easy to become famous.

I like red, like the beach, like beer, summer.

I don't really like to give up anything, that why I think I can do well in this industry.

NO, when I was young, I thought I would be a vet.

I think "design" is to make the future a better place. Good design can change the landscape of the city, change the living space of human beings and the way of life.

I really like the design of commercial space, because it can highlight the core value and brand spirit of a company. The most important thing is to let the designer play unlimited creativity and imagination.

"HAPPY HOUR" is one of our favorite designs. He is a flywheel classroom. We use neon lighting combined with geometric aesthetics to create a psychedelic atmosphere, so that sports can be a very enjoyable thing.

Our office is our first design work. We use a lot of metal combined with glass to allow sunlight and air to flow through the space, and we plant a lot of green plants, so that we can be close to nature when we are at work.

My favorite material is paint, because infinite colors can create different spatial atmospheres. And my favorite technique is the deformation technique of metal. The curve curved by metal always looks so elegant and perfect.

To be honest, I am always the most creative at 11 o'clock every night, perhaps because I am alone and quiet.

My most important aspect is the creation of concepts, trying to find the best design for the habits and preferences of the client.

I am always confused during the design process. What is the best creation and choice?

I feel moved after the creation, especially seeing the smile on the client's face.

I think successful design requires good customers, talented designers and excellent construction teams.

I will judge whether it is a good design from the perspective of practicality and aesthetics.

The designer's responsibility is to understand the social structure and culture, and the materials used must be environmentally friendly.

I believe that science and technology are constantly improving. The future design trend will be the combination of artificial intelligence and technology.

My first exhibition was at the age of 26, and the exhibition was held in Changhua, Taiwan. The theme was "Daily Life." I hope to have an exhibition of works related to architecture and interior in the near future.

Our creative inspiration comes from movies. The visual combination of music in the film is always so attractive, and I hope that my work is full of aesthetics and charming atmosphere.

I rarely define my style of creation because I think that the design that every guest needs cannot be the same. If you want to get the same characteristics from each other, I think it is the combination of the human senses and interior design.

I am from Taiwan. There is no world heritage in our country. There is only a hundred years of urban planning and architectural appearance. I think the cons for our professional field is that the culture of Taiwanese people in recent years has always pursued rapid and convenient, and gradually lacked the romance and beauty in life. The advantage is that the designers in Taiwan are actually full of creativity and willing to try different structures and materials.

I was the founder of VOATT DESIGN STUDIO and founded the company with my partner a few years ago. Today, our team members have five people, each with different backgrounds and majors.

I think it is not easy for a company to find a good designer. It is better to find a suitable designer than to find a good designer.

The first step in my design process is to communicate with the clients and understand his habits and needs, then propose and use 2D+3D images and modeling to discuss the design with the clients.

Kitchen, TV wall, furniture, decorations, lamps

Work, work, work, and sleep time, if I have time, I will go to the gym.

"Continuous creation and experimentation can make better designs"

I think that when the designer's advantage is to create his favorite design, the disadvantage is that there will always be a better solution from the mind.

Good design can make life better.

The sense of aesthetics and ability to observe.

My office is full of green plants, toys, comfortable sofas and books, which are my inspiration.

Until now, I still think that time is never enough. I spend more than 12 hours a day thinking about how design can get better.

It depends on the size of the case and is simple or complicated. But usually interior design is shorter than the time of architectural design, maybe an interior design can be completed in two to three months, but the architectural design takes three years.

Is there any better material and concept?

I graduated from the Department of Architecture and worked in an architectural firm. After graduating from the Product Design Institute, I decided to run a design company that focused on the design of architecture, interiors and products. For me, the work of the architectural design company has given me a great interest in design.

Friends from different professional fields, including teachers, bankers, company leaders and accountants.

Any type of design is the concept I want to try. I think everyone has their own type, so there is no single type design as the concept of each case.

I will continue to design and bring good concepts to the clients to create a better life.

Yes, I am the leader of the team, and I continue to improve my design skills. I believe that only continuous reading and learning can bring better design and more contributions to society.

I am working on a new VOATT DESIGN STUDIO office design, and in the new office design, we are about to try more combinations of materials and colors.
