Design Details

Unique Properties
A 7.5 meter high indoor patio is used as the starting point of the space at the entrance. In addition to introducing sky light and creating an indoor landscape, it is also the core of the entire space. Each area is linked to enhance the interaction between them. Because the patio design brings excellent lighting to the space, the office and reception areas on the second floor are separated by two different heights. The patio incorporates light into the entire room. Through the void space, people in the space can simply feel the texture and atmosphere of the space.
Inspiration
Atmosphere and form are the character and soul of the whole space. The primary intention of this project is to create an interior design studio that can convey the designer concept to the client through the composition of various elements. Through the penetrating and layered space, as well as the selection and matching of spatial necessities, an office space with aesthetic value that can coexist with life is created.
Research
The well developed and innovative materials are used to interpret the space, such as invisible iron windows, and the use of diverse spatial functions as the basis of the design, allows a single space to have more than one attribute. The simple and pure lines and low color palette are used to accommodate a variety of furniture, allowing the space to be flexible and grow and change with time.
Challenge
It is not only an office space, but also a multifunctional space that combines living, leisure, reception and exhibition. The designer dispersed the materials, styles, design elements and design concept commonly used in interior design into various corners, allowing for a variety of stylistic expressions to be incorporated into the project. Through the design of the space, clients can experience the design concept and design aesthetics of the studio.
Realization and Technology
The invisible iron windows are used as curtain walls, making this building material element one of the aesthetic aspects of the space, which not only brings the safety of the building material itself, but also brings visual penetration to the space.
Operation and Interaction
The designer integrated common household forms, materials and furniture into the space and gave it multiple attributes. The meeting table in the conference room is expressed as a kitchen island system cabinet, and the open cabinet is used as a display cabinet for building materials, so that this meeting space can also serve as a sample room. When talking with clients, it is easy to let them feel how these material elements are used in this space, and to also make this space a gathering spot.
Project Duration and Location
The project finished in October 2020 in Taichung City, Taiwan.
Specifications
The project is a two story building with 63 square meters on one floor, for a total of 126 square meters. The first floor contains the design office and a meeting room with a central island kitchen. The second floor has the main designer office and a spacious reception area.
