| DESIGN NAME: Safe Haven PRIMARY FUNCTION: Residence INSPIRATION: Through an ingenious and well-thought-out design, the whole world is moved into the living space. Home can thus become the safe haven for one to berth, to stop over, to rest and carry on with memories after traveling around the world. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Expressed through a concise contemporary style, "home sweet home" and "travel memories" are the two main concepts of the living space. The designer applies wood and stone materials, coloring the space with greyish black and warm earth tone. For the couple who loves to travel around the world, the living space can not only be somewhere life happens, but also an environment to enlighten the new-born child, witn prospect of life and curiosity towards the world. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The light-colored marble TV wall is framed by black, creating multilayers and depth for intuitive visual focus. In a space made mostly of wooden colors, the black stones, sofa, and metal items all echo with each other, outlining the space in each corner. The dining area is decorated with a dark-wooden desk contrasting with white chairs, bringing in an uplifting atmosphere to the warmth and the maturity. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: This project is finished in August 2017 in Taipei City, Taiwan. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Interior Space and Exhibition Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The layout of two common areas and four private rooms are arranged to meet the owner's needs for storage and work. Entering from the entrance, one can immediately see the world map decoration as the focus in the big, open-plan common area. Starting with the grey marble veins of the entrance, the beam and the sofa backrest divide the space into two functions, keeping it open and spacious. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: This project is 116 square meters. TAGS: Interior Design, Residence, Industrial, Modern, Travel RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The common area is designed with big-sized windows without partitions. This helps extend and expand the spatial perception. The space beside the entrance is divided into two, each for the owners' use for work. The wooden, laser engraved world map on the kitchen door is coated with magnetic paint. While recording all the memories of life and travel, teaching kids about the world, they can as well plan for trips at any time. CHALLENGE: The big beam of the master room is kept and embellished by light-colored wooden lattice. While adding some warm feeling to the space, it also turns the visual barrier into a part of the decoration. The bright white palette, compared to the common area, provides an ease at the private space. In order to cover the protruding column of the child's room, the storage cabinets are designed to be slightly tilted on the surface.
