Design Details

Unique Properties
Nowadays, there are waves of protest toward ostentatious interior decoration which argue with its unnecessary functions and surplus pollution during the construction. However, to restore the remembrance of the vintage, and to fuse with contemporary aesthetics, multiple material combinations are inevitable. Reducing construction phases and reusing residual material are considered and ultimately fulfilled.
Inspiration
The primitive feeling of home is like a nest. This notion derives from the quote: "I found a nest in the skeleton of the ivy; A soft nest of country moss and dream herb." by French Philosopher, Gaston Bachelard, in his work . Inspired by the previously mentioned, this project apartment tended to present poise and stable forms, imbued with refined and well-rounded visualizations, through conflicting and dramatic approaches of interior design.
Research
Confronting new and upcoming sustainable trends, further studies for new material durability and accurate application are required in this project. Furthermore, how to minimize contamination toward existing construction methods is considered as well.
Challenge
The flooring patterns at the living areas are integrated with wasted stone slabs and wood planks, and ultimately combine with tiling. The alignment of each material on flooring becomes crucial and arduous.
Realization and Technology
The coarse-textured cement finishing on beams and ceiling, derives from a patent up-cycling topcoat, Lotos, which is made from the up-cycling residues and sediments of local reservoirs; whereas, the red brick wall keep its mortar and masonry intact. Botanic-print wallpapers replace traditional painting, which avoids sewage and occurring wasted by-products during painting construction. The oxidized brass paneling is intentionally without chemical polishing, and sustains both luster and haptic feels. Moreover, the emerald marble and iconic floral patterns on decorative glasses indicate a touch of indigenous connection.
Operation and Interaction
The wide open-concept living area encompasses the sofa, piano, audio devices, and dining section, bar station, without cluttered feelings. The en-suite master bedroom and adjoining rooms are alongside the lateral layout.
Project Duration and Location
Started from October 2019 and finished in July 2020. Taichung city, Taiwan
Specifications
Construction area 152 square meter.
