Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The client is a gentleman, who places high premium on living quality and cultural taste, with a large collection of artwork, mainly of ceramic work of contemporary Taiwanese artists. In order to create a grand interior that complements the collections, the design team infused the collections into the interior with several specially designed display areas to articulate the visual, the texture, and the artistic semantics that adds elegant soul to the interior spatiality.
- Inspiration
- In order for art to infuse living spaces, it was not merely to display art in space but to frame the visuals of artwork in synergy with floor plan, circulation and functional layout, as well as color, texture and the artistic semantics of the collection. The overall space is anchored on stern and simple colors in line with the bold nature of the paint work of the ceramic bringing beholders a sense of aesthetics transcending the ordinary and the mundanity, while uplifting their souls and spirits.
- Research
- The artwork collection of the client was displayed with elegant design as the overall interior was enriched by the collection. At the start of the design process, the client has readied a catalogue of his collection with which the designers can become familiar while designing suitable disposition of the display. When considering the protection of the collection, the design team adopted museum-grade 300 lx recessed lamps to enhance the view experience as well as embellishing the entire interior.
- Challenge
- As the client wishes to move into the residence by February, 2019, there was little interval left from design to construction, therefore, this presented a challenge for the design team in having comprehensive consideration for the overall planning, as well as having a professional rapport with the construction crew, which has streamlined the construction process, while the design team has also effectively managed the communicaiton with the client to ensure the satisfaction by the client.
- Realization and Technology
- Like the passion and perseverance in the artistic pursuit by the client, the details in the material texture and their visuality shall be intimately and genuinely accessible and discernible, such as the natural materiality of the handmade timber flooring invoking a sense of nostalgia and craft tradition. Marble was used in complementing and enhancing the serenity of the paint work, as well as the grandeur of the artistic aspirations, that is in synergy with the living philosophy of the client.
- Operation and Interaction
- Apart from the love of art collection, the client has travelled around the world with interest in wine-tasting and gourmet foods. Therefore, the design team has planned the living circulation demarcating the kitchen and dining area from the collection display while providing practical storages. There is also a atlas wall in the study documenting the countries the client has travelled to, amongst the fabric of beauty and functions, an epitome of how the client understands the world.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project was finished in February, 2019 in Hsinchu County, Taiwan.
- Specifications
- As the residence of this project is of ample natural lighting, which may contain harmful rays and heat that are damaging for the artwork collection, therefore a special Hunter Douglas curtain with reinforced honeycomb structure to shield 78% of heat while guiding cold air into the interior, in providing effective insulation for all seasons, resulting in 49% reduction in heating energy consumption, as well as smart diffused lighting with adjustable area of control application.
