RESEARCH ABSTRACT: This project is beside the park; therefore, it has beautiful views and sunlight that comes in by three directions. However, the improper structure of previous design caused only little sunlight can be brought into the house. Designer reformed the structure by removing the wall of an extra room, turning it into an open study room. The client is the loft style lover, so the designer then lead in the loft style, opened the public area, and applied pipelines on ceiling and woods with natural texture.
CHALLENGE: The challenge is, after tearing down the previous ceiling, the messy hidden pipeline is revealed. The designer had to reintegrate all of the pipelines on the naked ceiling excluding fire hose but maintain the maximized height of public area and take the fixed location of the air conditioner of the building into concern at the same time. Thus, pipeline arrangement was the most complicated task.
