Big Little House
獲2023 Muse Design Awards 銀獎、Novum Design Award 銅獎
This project started in March 2022 and was completed in May 2022 in Taipei City, Taiwan. The owners are a young couple. They want that every area in the home can be divided clearly and the functions of daily living can be improved. The designer combines the freshness of the Nordic style and the simplicity of the Wabi-Sabi style. The dull blue color brings the calmness and spaciousness of the ocean into the house; the pinky purple presents the sweetness and elegance of love.
In order to divide the public and private spaces in the home and to improve the living functionality, the designer creates a duplex design. Compared to big houses, there’re more creative storage ideas shown in small houses. By combining the Nordic style and Wabi-Sabi style, the designer simplifies the interior designs to visually enlarges space and infuse the space with freshness. Besides, lightly-colored furniture and wooden element are used to give a calm and steady ambiance.
The 427 square-foot ground floor contains a living room and a dining room, the hospitable owners can chat with friends and exercise here; additionally, the master bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom are contained on the ground floor. The built-in storage cabinet is carefully arranged in the entryway, dining room, and kitchen. With the smart lighting system, the owners can transform the mood of the house by switching the lighting mode. Besides, the owners can have a drink and relax on the balcony. In the bathroom, the bathtub is molded into one body, so it has great waterproof performance, and the perfect size allows the owner can use it together. Under the stairs to the second floor, the spaces are arranged as storage areas. The cabinet depth is extended to give more storage space and multifunctional usage. On the second floor, there are a study and a room to display collections and bicycles.
The designer modifies the design more than ten times and compares and matches the building materials to find out the best texture and color that is perfect for the house. For the materials, the smart lighting system, original wood, glass, SPC flooring, and green materials are used. According to the standard of Green Design (GD), the designer put emphasis on low-formaldehyde quality and natural ventilation, creating a delicate and healthy small living house.
此案位於臺北市中山區，設計於2022年3月，於2022年5月完工，屬於老屋翻新。屋主為一對年輕夫妻，希望家中能明確分隔出公私領域，並強化小空間內的生活機能。設計上，結合北歐風格的清新，與日式侘寂風格的簡潔。運用低彩度的藍，增添猶如海洋的平靜與寬闊感，而粉中帶紫的色彩則表現出愛情中的甜蜜與優雅氣息。
使用樓中樓概念，將單層套房打造成具有兩層樓的空間，劃分出清楚的公私領域，同時提升生活機能。相較於大坪數空間，小坪數空間能表現出更多的收納巧思。透過結合北歐與日式侘寂風格，簡化屋內設計，達到通透的視覺效果，並為空間注入一股清新氣息；此外利用低彩度的傢俱與裝飾，加上原木元素，刻畫出寧靜、穩重的空間氛圍。
一樓共12坪，有客、餐廳，讓好客的屋主能在此與朋友暢聊、健身運動，此外，還有主臥室與廚房、浴室。設計上，在玄關、餐廳、廚房等區域都精心規畫收納櫃體。室內藉由智慧照明，可以隨時切換燈光模式，轉換生活情境。而室外則有陽台，能在此放鬆小酌。浴室內浴缸採一體成型預鑄製成，能防漏也能保溫，且寬敞的空間能同時容納雙人。通往二樓的樓梯下，完全規劃成收納區域，為達到多功能運用，加深收納櫃的同時，放大了儲藏空間。二樓則有用來陳列收藏品與腳踏車的次臥室，另外還有一間書房。
設計上經過逾十次的修改，並經由不停比對、搭配，找出最適合此空間的建材紋路與色澤。建材使用上，選用智慧照明、原木材、玻璃、石塑地板、綠建材等，且在合格綠裝修工程標準下，完全達到低甲醛、自然通風元素，打造出小巧精美的健康住宅。
