DESIGN NAME: Vector
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Residential House
INSPIRATION: To rebuild the original building into a new one, the C&K team has taken the control to design since the building was in rough condition. The position of the residence meets the owner’s requirement, which is a 3-room configuration. In light of the owner who both advocates Germanic craftsmanship and expects a framework different from the rigid vertical and horizontal structure when considering concision and uniqueness, the designer seeks inspirations from the cuts to the diamonds. The designer, therefore, uses the reflections of firmness and flexibility as the outlines in many places, creating the dialogues in facades and reaching a spectacular viewpoint in aesthetics.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The daylight can pass through the porch abundantly when opening the main door. By using a bevel cabinet on the right side to the wall, the design puts the laggard air at the entrance into moves, completing the emotion precipitation from the outer to the inner. The wooden modeling wall on the left side creates the calm atmosphere, and the deep-engraved seam on the slope façade corresponds to the dark recessed grooves on the ceiling, the design of which creates the rhymed extensions from sky, earth, and wall. Besides the delicate dark recessed grooves on the ceiling that add both the meaning of lighting and the metaphor of moving guide, a big storage cabinet is placed behind the wall. The designer tries to use lines to distract the observers, making the cabinet melt into the space naturally.Fold and oblique are the two major topics in this project. Overlapping by two colors on the back wall of the sofa is the best example. The modelling wall breaches the limits of the uniform plane and there is a window behind the shield when people turn around 90 degrees inside the place. Under the premise that without affecting daylight in the room, the reverberation of strengthening continuity surface is the great ingenuity when the designer avoids the taboo of penetrating the hall.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The magnificent power of the lightning comes from the encountering of positive and negative electricity. This concept corresponds to the Yin and Yang in Chinese I-Ching, in which the everlasting cycle of energy is created.
The combination of Yin and Yang makes Tai chi, a Daoism cosmological concept. Based on the image of Tai Chi, in the center of the dining room and restaurant area lies a TV bench shaped as a united Ying-Yang rotation. This design brings up the spatial energy, functioning as the dynamic center of the lightning totem.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project finished in Taipei.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Fold and oblique are the two major topics in this project. Overlapping by two colors on the back wall of the sofa is the best example. The modelling wall breaches the limits of the uniform plane and there is a window behind the shield when people turn around 90 degrees inside the place.

CHALLENGE: Fold and oblique are the two major topics in this project. Overlapping by two colors on the back wall of the sofa is the best example. The modelling wall breaches the limits of the uniform plane and there is a window behind the shield when people turn around 90 degrees inside the place. Under the premise that without affecting daylight in the room, the reverberation of strengthening continuity surface is the great ingenuity when the designer avoids the taboo of penetrating the hall.The simple style TV wall plays a functional role in the public area that flexibly splits the place into living room and dining room. The designer uses dark wooden cabinet and grey marble to make twisting double stairs. Such wild imagination represents the highest level symbolizing harmonic yin and yang; demonstrates an excellent contemporary sculpture; endows the ornamental value. The chic white dining table and snow painting on the wall in the dining room, makes the lines more neat and interesting, which have a brand new expression.
