Ode to Everything

Residence for Zhimo Design

All creatures on the planet earth are spiritual. For this interior design project, the designer has introduced many natural elements on earth into the interior space as a metaphor for life. Since the residence is located on an upper floor with a view of North Dawu Mountain, one of the top 100 high mountains in Taiwan, the designer has cleverly used curved forms in designing the ceiling and flooring. In addition to the design of curved walls, the designer also creates a magical spatial interaction by flowing, overlapping, and extending the tender light.

Production Technology

The earthy colors combined with pure white tones are set to create a simple and elegant atmosphere. Stepping into the marble tiled entryway, one will recognize the iridescent glass screen at the side delineates the area and extends the light through its translucency, creating a spacious and bright visual experience. The public shared living area flooring is defined by iron lines and tiles with different textures. The TV wall continues the marble texture and echoes the living room's black coffee table. In addition, a multi-patterned carpet is placed on the living room floor to highlight the primary spatial feature.

Design Challenge

Besides, the cabinets have beams and columns to provide more storage space. It also symbolizes the homeowner's sky is the limit way of thinking. Through the well-executed layout, light and sight can travel freely through the area, and air flows smoothly, providing the residents with a relaxing residential environment.

Project Duration

The project was completed in June 2022 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan

Operation Flow

Following the line of movement to the dining room, in the back groundwall, the designer takes advantage of the sandblasted glass to depict the hexagrams, satisfying the homeowner's belief in feng shui. Besides, in the kitchen area, a low wall is set as a partition, allowing for visual extension while retaining the exclusiveness of the space. In the bedroom, the color scheme of earthy beauty is continued, with iron-gray and brown creating a quiet and calm atmosphere, providing a comfortable sleeping environment for the residents.

Research

For this project, the designer uses marble, solid wood, quartz tile, and iron to create a beautiful ode to all things by harmonizing distinct textures and energies. On the premise of not affecting the drainage efficiency, the air conditioning is cleverly planned above some cabinets to avoid the oppressive feeling caused by additional installation. On top of that, this also satisfies the homeowner's expectation of the height of the interior space.

Inspiration

In addition to the design of curved walls, the designer also creates a magical spatial interaction by flowing, overlapping, and extending the tender light. The beautiful light travels into the interior space, demonstrating an upbeat spatial rhythm like the lines of mountains and rivers. Through the designer's clever interior mobility and layout planning, the spatial functionality and comfort are well executed in the limited space.
