Space Travel Technology

Space Travel Technology is an office interior of 82.5 square meters located in Hsinchu. The design follows a theme of technology and the future. White curved walls recall a capsule inside a spacecraft, and protruding streamer plates suggest asteroids of different sizes. A perforated corrugated entry gallery, long light strips and a floor with a random pattern form a passage that recalls a wormhole. Office seating is arranged in a Y shape to keep the space open. White and silver are used to make the limited area appear larger.

Shiyi Office

Shiyi

Shiyi is an office interior design created for a design studio in Wenzhou, China. The original layout was simplified, and interspersed blocks outline the space and add contrast to the walls. Stone, wood and metal give simple colors and primitive textures. The interior is 5.38 meters high, so the volume was divided into two floors. A Y-shaped staircase with two separate paths avoids an existing beam and leads to two different areas. A suspended tea room on the second floor is carried by a steel frame fixed to the ceiling.

Santacove Art Yard

Link Life Art Yard Interior Tuesday, 15 October 2024

Santacove

Santacove is a residential interior design for a dwelling of 220 square meters in Foshan, China. The layout takes cues from traditional Japanese houses, where the boundary between inside and outside is not sharply defined. Grilles, glass and a courtyard landscape enclose a series of transitional spaces between the interior and the street. Natural materials are selected for their textures, and the textiles are plain fabrics in original colors. The spatial structure is open, with almost no partition walls, so the home remains quiet and private.
