Reconstruct Boundary

Residence for iiNO Design

At the entrance is a gorgeous vista. The marble is suspended on the wood veneer and combined with iron and lighting to create an art gallery-like experience. The floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room bring in plenty of light, and the natural light is softened by gauze curtains. The space is bright and grand in the warm embrace of the sun during the day, and cozy at night under the mood lighting. The dark tones also make the space both calm and steady, perfectly interpreting the personal characteristics of the client.

Unique Properties

Breaking the boundaries: To blur the boundaries between the various areas, installed custom-made suspended ironwork in the social area to connect the living and dining rooms. The open laminate allows the space to be permeable, and the irregular lines provide a unique touch. Flooring: Presents different visual effects on the floor, defining the theme of each space by the difference in color. Study Room: Contrary to the general definition of a study room as a place to read, emphasizes 'relaxation', making this space a social hall for families to spend time together.

Production Technology

Building materials: iron parts, stone plastic composite flooring, floor tiles, system cabinets, transparent glass, marble, slab tiles, eco-friendly latex paint...etc. The interior is divided by dark and light tones to create a boundary between the social and private areas. The social area emphasizes dark tones such as black, white, and gray, with black iron parts creating a stylish look. Among them, the suspended iron laminate that connects the living and dining rooms is welded to the steel structure before the woodwork ceiling is constructed, to present a suspended effect.

Design Challenge

The project is a renovation of a ten-year-old apartment. The initial site was in poor condition, and the design team had to reinforce the flooring and painting, so they spent a lot of time on the foundation work. During the construction, due to the spacious site, there were also disadvantages of low and large beams. The designer took a variety of techniques to make the space visually not too narrow while using open laminates and dark colors to match the space with a sense of texture.

Project Duration

The project finished in October 2022 in Taiwan.

Operation Flow

After the completion, the client gave positive feedback that the designer's separation of the social and private areas is very appropriate. In addition to the privacy of the living space, the dining room, living room, and even the study room are all highly comfortable. In particular, the study room was originally an enclosed space, but after the renovation, the whole social area is more connected. If both parents and children have guests, the adults can use the living room and dining room, while the children and their friends can use the study area without interfering with each other.

Research

The designer eliminated the boundaries in the interior according to the client's living habits. After removing the unnecessary partitions, the original look of the space was restored. Used metaphor to define the theme between each area, to achieve the best balance between spaciousness and privacy. The foyer is the core, with the social area on the left and the private area on the right. The foyer is made up of a variety of materials. The warm and elegant atmosphere extends from the left to the right with the warm wood veneer covered with white marble.

Inspiration

The space serves a family of four. The client hopes that this renovation will allow more frequent communication between the family members. To do so, the designer took the blurring of the boundaries of each area as the core according to the family's living habits. The designer removed unnecessary partitions and used metaphors to define the theme between each area. The blurring of the boundaries magnifies the visual effect of the interior, and the spacious social area significantly strengthens family cohesion.
