A leisure residence for parents

From the fluctuations of life to maintain a little quiet "quiet people have profound", "empty space", thus invisibly expand the space of life.

Foreword

The creative ideas that surge out of the designer's instinct and the inner blueprint suddenly take on a new look, as if a powerful medicine suddenly takes effect. Everything I knew about what I was creating was drowned out by the bright light of the new, and there was only one voice deep inside: "I'm going to renovate my parents' house." However, elderly care will definitely be a major trend topic in the future society, and the focus may be on the life aspects of the elderly. This house is a reflection of only my parents and me, and it solves the problems of my parents and me. The spiritual pursuit of old age, the older generation who are busy all day, it is time to relax, feel life, and have their own spiritual territory. We hope that they can have a calm and relaxed mental state towards life, think about life, enjoy ordinary life, and discover in their leisure time Things are beautiful as they are.

Spatial Planning

The overall space continues the original layout. When the structure allows, the position of the entrance door is adjusted to free up part of the living room common area to meet the daily storage needs of the family. The reset of the entrance also gives people an obvious "refreshing" feel. An indoor partition similar to a flower wall is added to emphasize the longitudinal spatial extension of the guest room and dining room, and the spatial hierarchy is greatly enriched in the opaque visual effect. The semi-enclosed blank area becomes a small porch from the parents' bedroom to the common area, adding a sense of ritual in life.

Design Concept

"The setting of partitions creates a perspective on the relationship between people". Coming from a small southern town, I always have a lot of requirements from my family of origin. A thousand words always tell you to "be good" in the end. Therefore, the necessary distance is a requirement for living space and the basis for isolation and mental independence from noise.

"People Absorbed in Nature"

The use of earth and logs as materials is more like a stubborn separation of urban concepts. Nature restored from the "sympathy" and "comfort" extracted from the dominance of urban life, a kind of nature required by humanities, attempts to coordinate the personal identity in the family and living ecological environment through nature again, The relationship between people can once again be attached to nature and redefine the openness of interpersonal relationships in family life.

"The repayment of life is equivalent to the replacement of relationships, which is no different from the order of space." When I start trying to change my relationship with my parents Always looking for a landing point. Like a crow always casting stones. Through the construction of space, a humanistic style is used to simulate traditional relationships again. It seems that the French floor tiles from the 1980s are still the twists and turns of the poinciana or the linen curtains full of martyr symbols. They self-discipline form the background of the traditional tone, grafting "empathy" into the space to create relationships. Adjustment, The warmth of oak echoes the rhythm of orderly lines.

Material Use

A good residence must be able to absorb the traces of people's life, thereby showing a specific richness. In this situation, the vicissitudes of life will naturally appear in the choice of materials. There are numerous small scratches on the surface, and the paint gradually fades and peels off. And the edges that have become bald from use leave an unusual impression. The solid wood veneer of the whole house is made of a carbonized mixture of 4 types of wood. The transparent wood wax oil does not block the natural feeling of the wood. The shadow of eucalyptus, the ruddy color of apple wood, and walnut are within reach in life. The depth and natural fire lines and scars of Tasmanian oak gradually overlap and overlap with the growth marks of the wood and the scratches of use in life, thus showing a specific richness. The vicissitudes of wood and stone are contained under the clay-textured wall paint. The whole home has a gentle temperament, but is full of personality. The color scheme derived from nature finally returns to the calmness of earth tones. The wall treatment method that fully respects the material texture brings a mottled feeling under the light and shadow, forming a spatial harmony with the travertine floor, making the texture of the home closer to nature.

In the earth tones, some black items are interspersed in the space, adding a sense of layering to the color palette of the entire home with a calm and classic visual impression. Whether it is a medieval-style entrance cabinet purchased from Yiji, or searching for custom-made dining tables and coffee tables made of ancient wood in Banna or Dali, the home is gradually taking shape through the combination of these natural materials and careful carvings. Cotton and linen are also the first choice materials for natural residences. The transparent curtains are deliberately selected to bring light into the room in a more antique folding way. When necessary, they can be used with blinds to achieve a light-blocking effect, which is both beautiful and practical. Sofas and bedding take advantage of the skin-friendly feel of cotton and linen to create a more appropriate and natural form of life. Living here feels like returning to nature, or even more like being absorbed in nature.

The growth of life is like a grand journey, and at some point along the way, we have to practice facing the change in relationship with our parents. After going through the process of being cared for by parents to taking care of their needs, I found the point of this relationship replacement, cleverly integrated it into the spatial order, and found the balance between intimacy and independence, and the return to nature and simplicity. A common way of getting along. Living here for leisure allows all kinds of beautiful hopes to fall into the physical space of reality, making love tangible, allowing parents to have a richer spiritual territory outside of daily life, and to be more relaxed and relaxed in life, leading to a more beautiful life. flowers.
