DESIGN NAME: Improvised Syncopation
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Residential Interior
INSPIRATION: Inspired by the composition of Chopin's Fantasies Impromptu, musicality evolves that corresponds with space.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A sense of musicality is installed into the living space for the apartment owner with a love for classical music. It transforms notes and rhythm into spatial lines and colors. Taking the basic idea of improvisation in music as a starting point, the open spaces in the background make wide use of white wall areas. Metallic stripes with irregular spaces between them syncopate the spaces and at the same time encompass them in a repeated manner. This has an effect similar to spontaneous syncopations in musical accompaniment.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Inspired by the composition of Chopin’s Fantasies Impromptu, musicality evolves that corresponds with space.
Prelude:
Entrance to the rooms (partition in the entrance area): an extensive purple wall and vertical and horizontal lines mark the beginning of a prelude designed to welcome the guests!
Leitmotif A:
In the public space (dining room, living room) vertical lines with irregular spaces in-between produce an effect similar to Chopin’s “Fantasie-Impromptu”: the continuous arpeggios of the left hand run all the way through the whole piece and lend it spatial velocity and tension. By contrast, the red and purple tones of the central space have the effect of the leitmotif of the right hand. It is characterized by different kinds of styles and stands out from the surrounding vertical lines in the background.
Leitmotif B:
Horizontal lines run through the space of the main bedroom, evoking the lyrical melody of the improvisation. They give the room a soft and quiet character.
Postlude:
Horizontal lines dominate the children’s room, complemented by vertical lines. They reflect the intertwined character of leitmotifs A and B and thus give expression to the liveliness of the children’s room.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in Oct 2013 and finished in May 2014 in Taipei Taiwan.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: How to satisfy working and living at home and combine leisure and work at the same time.
CHALLENGE: To satisfy working and living at home, open space design would be the best solution for this new living trend. To make working, dinning, cooking, entertainment, and social chatting all together and happen anytime. Movable furniture and the main wall with their characteristic colored areas and patterns convey the main melody of fancy romanticism.The rhythmic black wooden floor extend from inside to outdoor. Besides the visual extension, it also combine leisure and work.
