Design Details
- Unique Properties
- A business office, which sells construction materials, is to be built using warm wood and painted steel. At the beginning of the discussion, the client requested us to build a material room for them. Several design plans were mentioned and various possibilities were discussed. Finally, I proposed this mural-style design to showcase customer products on an open wall.
- Inspiration
- This work was inspired from painted murals at Taoyuan located in Painting Village, Kengkou, Luzhu District, Taoyuan City. It is a mural painting community created by artists globally. These outstanding artists express their spirit and ideals through murals. I am severely touched by these wall paintings, which are like a boutique exhibition.
- Research
- Considering the flexible layout and smooth traffic flows, the storage and exhibition space are improved such that the storage and display functions are integrated; the open exhibit design satisfies practical and aesthetic needs.
- Challenge
- In a constrained space, a unique area is made to meet clients’ expectation. Besides enhancing the uniqueness and originality of the design, we attempted to present each unique product with a clean background.
- Realization and Technology
- The color of the design is mainly black. The overall image creates a sense of value for the product. Materials used are black paint, plywood, walnut, black painted glass, LVT plastic flooring, Lotos , and black flannel.
- Operation and Interaction
- The general visual effect is concentrated on the black and warm wood grain. A large piece of wood is above the center of the conference room. A video wall is below it facing the conference room. Moreover, on the other side, there is a merchandising display wall and sample storage cabinet. Additionally, different lighting creates a special and unique atmosphere for each client.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project started in September 2016 and was completed in Taipei, Taiwan, in February 2017.
- Specifications
- The indoor area is 86 m2 and the height is 2.6 m. There are three business conference areas.
