Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The three floors at the top of the building are all owned by the owner of this project. Due to the old condition of the building, the designer started with the maintenance of the building structure and basic engineering, to challenge the limits of building space and create a multi storey high level vacation villa.
- Inspiration
- Opening the roof of the building, it can see the changing sky from day to night. The designer has implanted the futuristic and abstract metaphors of nature into the traditional old mansion. Fresh sunlight flows along the stairway of the patio and reflects on the steps built for the wine collection. The silver metal panels and lights symbolize the brilliant waves of the coast, interweaving the function in the avant garde future imagination.
- Research
- Through the remodeling of the building structure and plumbing, as well as the glass staircase patio running through the three floors, with the consideration of safety and comfort, the stairs and transparent steps are transformed into the storage and display of wine, with hidden storage space and taste aesthetics of life.
- Challenge
- The original condition of the house was quite old and dark, and the house height was very low. In order to achieve the safety of living, it was necessary to rebuild and reinforce the partial building structure, including H steel structure and lighting patio, and use the stair area to solve the large storage needs and maximize the space needed for social interaction.
- Realization and Technology
- Due to the relatively old house condition, accompanied by the problems such as low house height and dark interior, with the consideration to the safety and lighting problem, the designer reconstructed partial building and plumbing, and removed the top floor ceiling, to bring the natural light with patio, so the light along the transparent glass stairs, entered the bedroom on the second floor and the steps of the first floor, with the daily storage and artwork display integrated into the stair façade; at the same time, the stair steps are converted into the wine cellar for storage, to show the taste of life and save the space.
- Operation and Interaction
- It is the party themed residential design; the first floor and top floor provide the indoor and outdoor party environment. The public area adopts the avant garde modern style to reflect the personality preferences of young residents. The open space and hollow square moving line can accommodate more than 10 guests and interactive exchanges. The stair facade and steps integrate the multiple storage functions and create additional storage space for wine, thus reserving more social contact space. In the private area, the natural sunlight is introduced through the glass patio and terrace, which are combined with the green and stone vitality, bringing a fresh and bright holiday atmosphere.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project started in June. 2021 and finished in Nov. 2021 in Taiwan.
- Specifications
- To build a senior island resort in the metropolis, the fashionable avant-courier, sunlight, and greenery perfection is intermingled indoor, through the narrow and long corridor, to elongate the concealed prelude of the space; the living room is surrounded by water-corrugated stainless steel, combined with the linear light of sense of science and technology, just like a metal ring from the future; the mirrored ceiling reflected the house height, gives both ends of the space infinite sense of openness and party imagination.
