'White Forest' by Po Chuan Kao: Innovation in Residential

White Forest

Residential for ACG Design International

Lights and shadows are being used to create different sentiments of shades of flowers. At the manufactured lighting designs, the designer applied the indirect lightings of the aluminum light bands to deliver a balanced and soften light-shadow feeling. On the other hand, the vertical LED lightings have strong focusing; with different chandeliers and standing lamps, another kind of light-shadow atmosphere is created within the space. The special paint is used on the wall played a unique role in transforming atmospheres, as if a metaphor of the time-changing sensations.

Unique Properties

After calibrating the design elements exquisitely, the designer applied accurate and coordinated ratio transformations between abstracts and concretes and further delivered a visual depth of field through various methodical features. Meanwhile, the terrazzo base with shades of gray has drawn a parallel towards the odd rocks in forests. Concretes can be seen from the entryway marble facade, artworks of Taiwanese artists that were glaze fired and painted, and the three-stamen furnishing at the vista of the hallway.

Production Technology

Special paint, marbles, jet glasses, hardware, aluminum light band, painted solid wood, mirrors, glass tiles, grindstones, stretch cloth.

Design Challenge

To combine all individual design elements into the room, the designer has applied metaphor methods to carefully hold onto the ratio of the part. For example, the light band that expands with areas strips that metaphor classic while visually outlining the sense of technology. Meanwhile, the grains and texture on materials symbolized the imagery of flowers, odd rocks, mountain springs, and others within the space. With the ratio arrangements of abstracts and concretes, a progressive depth of field is elaborated; all elements endued with characteristics, and are placed in each corner harmonically.

Project Duration

The project finished in Jun 2021 in Taichung.

Operation Flow

Traffic flow arrangements often affect users emotions and the space practicality. The designer removed unnecessary walls to remodify the structure to solve the originally distorting and blocking spatial issue. Using the gray grindstones of the entryway as the go-between, the kitchen and the dining room are connected. At the same time, the open-end method is applied to weaken formal definitions towards space; overmuch decorations are ignored, while the sofa and the study desk are placed in the middle of the room, allowing children to move within the area freely without limitations.

Research

To solve the distorted and multi-partitioned original spatial, the designer has remodified the surface. Abstract designing metaphors are used to elaborate the mountain springs, the odd rocks, the flowers, and other natural sights. The designer applied an open-ended method at the public area; a grindstone base is used as the go-between to create the entryway, the dining room, the kitchen, and other public areas. With the placing position of the desk and the sofa, a hidden border is created to divide the living room and the study.

Inspiration

The designer applied Language of Flowers as the central concept and combined it with the touches of that trip to create layers of emotions. The depth of the elements is composed between abstracts and concretes; the language of flowers is shaped with abstracts, comparing humans to stamens. Within the transformations of lights and shadows, different appearances and colors are shown through the changing of time: Eternity shall bloom in the bottom of one heart, a pure flower with beauty and infinity.
