Press Kit

Unique Properties

The public area is designed as an open space. The designer has redefined and magnified the residential space by altering the original layout, merging study and part of the walkway with living and dining room into one mix-used space. Blurring the boundary between living and dining area reserves space for flexible activities. Large frame structure with embedded LED strips as the combination of study desk and bar counter, improves the interaction between one another in different functional space.

Dimensions & Packaging

The project area is 105.79 square meters. It is located in a 10-storey apartment built of RC structure. Study, living and dining room are integrated into an open space. Storage cabinets are located at the entrance. Geometrically shaped wooden shelves add liveliness to the space. Long-span suspended wooden frame combining both office desk and bar, separates the public and private areas and weakens the sense of oppression caused by low beams.

Production Technology

This project has applied aluminium LED strip light bar, shrink film, metal parts, Changhong glass, Italian Spiver decorative paint, system furniture and SPC flooring. The designer has managed to apply simple urban style in different space with consistent colour tone, lighting or furniture and decoration design.

Design Challenge

How to enlarge the space, set up ample storage space, but still maintain the minimalist style visually is the core challenge for the designer. In order to achieve a large-span composite desk and bar counter, the construction team has accurately strengthened the structure. In addition, the geometrically shaped decorative frame also uses precise construction skills. In the end, the designer and team successfully completed high-quality designs, and the result is very satisfying to the clients.

Project Duration

This project started in June 2019 and finished in October 2019 in Taoyuan City, Taiwan.

Operation Flow

The most time-consuming part is the application of the imported decorative paint in the living room. The construction team has achieved to create the ideal texture, letting the overall texture of the public space stays consistent. In addition, the original kitchen space has insufficient storage space. After reorganizing the layout, the storage space is increased for electrical appliances with additional function of a preparation table, achieving complete functionality and practicality.

Research

Painted in white and gray tones, the public space uses soft lights and wood to create a sense of warmth. It is designed with simplicity, achieving a stylish atmosphere. Chic natural texture is created for the gray walls. Master bedroom has a dark gray tone, with wood texture, modern furniture and embedded light, showing a sense of noble. Reduces the aisle area to form mixed-use open space, it effectively enlarges the public space. Without excessive decoration, it creates a durable modern home.

Inspiration

The consistent simplicity design style and planning for the overall space has achieved the requirement of the client. The adequate space where the child can play is realized by exclusion of a dining table. Using frame as a design concept enables clients to take care of their child even when working at the couch office area. The large floating frame structure with study desk and bar counter purpose, not only very functional but also brings out the sense of lightness of the space volumes.
