We apply multi-level relationship to the office space, and extend the practical aspect of the design with the concept of “Material Lab”. This space is beyond the use as an office, and the possibilities extend as a complex place. You can regard this space as a design resource studio and materials library. To link the emotions of the community, we continue to hold a number of experimental courses on life and aesthetics, such as floral workshops, cooking classrooms, clothing design exhibitions and sales, coffee diners, etc. Through an open space, piling up the style of life culture with beautiful things, it may become a place for the spread of daily beauty.
In the first half of the site, the plane is divided into two parts by the entrance, and two moving lines are divided to provide different space requirements. The designer has changed the entrance of the old house, moved the gate to the center, and separated the meeting space and the open space invisibly with two types of ground materials.
The keynote of the sense of life spreads in places which are deliberately created like the family dining room. We believe that the background color of design is time. Therefore, an interesting artistic experiment was carried out in the front yard. The designer made two iron plate partitions. In the days with no deadline, with the change of temperature, humidity and the base, it deteriorates slowly. Finally, it was embroidered into a natural organism. The word “time” is clearly confirmed on the back wall of the conference room.
The designer used special lacquer paint and washed it layer by layer with chemicals. Over time, it is superimposed and scraped to create an unpredictable texture that is naturally developed. The overall space uses a neutral background color, covered with hand-feeling creases flowing on the ceiling and walls, like a silent time and space, allowing the traces to show the most touching things in life.
We chose a variety of different materials and lay them out in the interior in an intuitive and revealing way. Its purpose is to hope that when the customers participate in the meeting, it is like visiting the material exhibition room. Through discussing the configuration or material with the designer, they can touch and evaluate the actual effect and application of the material, not just limited to the vague imagination. There is already “Material ConneXion” material research institute in the United States to show the advanced building materials of the world to the global audience.
However, we hope that in our space, in addition to simple exhibition and practicality, it can better reflect the appearance of local life and combine life + live + lab, so as to provide a complex place that can connect neighbours, communicate the emotions of the community, enhance the aesthetics of life, and can be used as a practical office at the same time. Just like the name of the “Material Lab”, infinite possibilities will happen right here in the future...
