It recognizes the dedication and skill of designers who produce work that stands out for its thoughtful development and innovative use of materials and technology. These designs are acknowledged for their professional execution and potential to influence industry standards positively.

About Family Time Residential Apartment

Family Time is a residential apartment interior of 205 square meters, planned for a three-generation family. The original living room and the dining area are combined into one open public space, unified by gray as the main tone. A permeable hanging frame made of iron, with metal boards of titanium crystal, forms the visual focus and separates the paths between the living room and the study room. The ceiling is marked with black and yellow lines that enlarge the sense of vertical height. A backless gray sofa keeps the view open, so elderly members and children can be seen easily.

About Shi Zhe Lo

Rock is the foundation for a building. The space of aesthetics and motions has been programmed by each stroke on the draft designs, and the design has been transformed into language of life by creativity. Aesthetics are the symbols of the space that create simple and elegant symbolic images and that describe the spiritual preferences of the residents by integrating architecture aesthetics and delicate arts of humanity. Specialization is the one-of-a-kind creation that impeccably interprets space from scales, evolves delicate texture from light, and corresponds to aesthetic from furniture.

Award Record

This recognition makes Shi Zhe Lo a winner of 11 A' Design Awards. The awards were granted between the 2016 - 2017 and the 2019 - 2020 editions of the A' Design Award & Competition.

Design Details

Unique Properties
The designer combines the original living room and the restaurant as a comprehensive public area by setting the gray color as the main spatial tone to define this space.
Inspiration
The opening and comprehensive public area can assist connecting all family members who can spontaneously spend their time staying in this area and enjoying family relationships. In this public area, the permeable hanging frame made of iron material and the metal boards of Titanium crystal is the main spatial focus and balances the visual effects in this space.
Research
By the demonstration of this project, we can see that even though on the limited space for too many family members, the efficient spatial strategy of leveraging the detailed objects still can establish wonderful atmosphere and create quality life.
Challenge
The most important challenge for this project is how to fulfill the needs for a three-generation family in the limited space.
Realization and Technology
The humble chandelier and the iron decorations on the end wall can be visually included in this permeable hanging frame by different visual angles. All that spatial strategies can compose concise spatial layers and catch the users' visual awareness. The area of permeable shelves is an important spatial role to separate the paths in the space, which can separate different functions between the living room and the study room.
Operation and Interaction
The ceiling decorated by the black and yellow lines can enlarge the vertical height and slightly define the sub-areas and the paths. The study room intentionally adding two entry sides can adjust the room according to different events and the number of users. The gray sofa with no back design is an intermediate role between the living room and the restaurant, which can make the public area more opening and no visual obstacle in order to better take care of elderly members and children.
Project Duration and Location
The project finished in February 2017 in Taichung City.
Specifications
The property is 205 square meters.
