Mayelana ne-Layered Cohabitat Ukwakhiwa Kwangaphakathi Kwefulethi

I-Layered Cohabitat iyingaphakathi lefulethi elingamamitha-skwele angu-46 elakhelwe umhlali oyedwa kanye nekati. Isakhiwo sisebenzisa uphahla oluphakeme ukuze linwebeke ngokuma mpo, kwakheke ukugeleza kwamazinga ahlukene okuxhumanisa izikhala ezivulekile. Izitebhisi ezikhuphukayo zakha udonga lokugibela lwekati futhi zixhumana nendlela yokuhamba ezungeza umshayo. Ikhabethe eliphansi elinamazinga amabili ngasefasiteleni linikeza indawo yokugcina izinto kanye nendawo yokuphumula. Imigqa ehlanzekile, imibala ethambile ye-taupe, upende wamaminerali kanye nokhuni kuletha umuzwa wendawo yasehlathini enokuthula. Udonga olwaluhlukanisa lwasuswa ukuze kungene ukukhanya kwemini okuvela empumalanga ngaphakathi.

Ukuqashelwa

Mayelana ne-Umklomelo Webhulonzi we-A' Design Award

Layered Cohabitat Ukwakhiwa Kwangaphakathi Kwefulethi iwinile uMklomelo Webhulonzi we-A' Design Award, ukwaziswa okuhloniphekile kakhulu okunikezwa imiklamo ephawulekayo eyehlukaniswa ukudala, ubuhlakani nobukhali bengqondo. Abawinile beBhulonzi yimisebenzi enobuchule obukhulu nedala ngokumangalisayo eqinisekisa isipiliyoni esibanzi, umcabango nobuhlakani babaklami babo. Layered Cohabitat Ukwakhiwa Kwangaphakathi Kwefulethi ilindeleke ukuba ibe yinto exatshwa kakhulu, edunyiswayo nethandwayo, enobungcweti obuphawulekayo nezinto ezintsha. Lo mklamo owinile uMklomelo Webhulonzi we-A' Design Award uhlanganisa izindlela ezinhle kakhulu ebuciko, esayensi, ekuklameni nasebuchwepheshe futhi uhamba phambili ngenxa yokunaka kwawo imininingwane.

Izici Ezihlukile: Unlike the typical living form, this project provides an innovative solution that integrates everyday functionality while offering the cat an exclusive habitat without any sacrifice to the human's living experience. Exploring the new possibility and cohabitation within a compact space, the design aims for a flowy, effortless, and harmonious balance between the cat and the occupant. The master plan takes advantage of the high ceiling, expanding vertically to enhance movement.
Izilinganiso Nokupakisha: Construction area 46 square meter.
Amathegi: Eco-friendly, non-toxic material, compact space
Ubuchwepheshe Bokukhiqiza: By introducing varied vertical axes and conjoining open spaces, the design breaks away from a typical apartment layout, creating a split-level flow and spatial diversity. Backdrops are finished in mineral paint, offering a gentle, organic texture that pairs seamlessly with the cabinetry, open shelving, and pegboard wall system. Through the interplay of curves, clean lines, and cut-out form, this small-scale apartment transforms into a new living form where the cat and the human coexist in comfort.
Inselele Yokudweba: The apartment suffered from poor daylighting due to a partition wall blocking the east-facing orientation and the path of the rising sun. By removing the partition wall, the layout opens up, allowing the east-facing room to bring daylight into the interior spaces.
Ucwaningo: All materials were applied with thoughtful consideration: LED lighting devices were used to save energy, and recycled-based paints were chosen for sustainability. Meanwhile, all materials were certified non-toxic and safe for both humans and animals. Durable surface materials were selected to reduce long-term maintenance costs.
Ugqozi: Spanning less than 50 square meters, the apartment is tailored for a single woman and a cat. Reimaging the notion of walking into a forest, the interior space is holistically structured with clean lines and soft taupe palettes, complemented by wood materials. Light, color, and the texture interweave to evoke a clam, relaxing, carefree woodland ambiance. Especially, the mirror at the entrance enhances the visual spaciousness through reflection.
Ubude Bephrojekthi: Tainan City
Ukuhamba Kokusebenza: A two-tier low cabinet by the window provides not only storage but also a cozy lounging spot for both occupants. Ascending steps build up a climbing wall for the cat, linking to a walkway that wraps around a beam, allowing light and air to freely flow through the space. The open shelving paired with the floating walkway helps define spatial boundaries through a lightweight design, avoiding any sense of visual clutter.
