在空間中設定一個軸心，用一支獨特的「柱」作為機能領域區分的起點。共用的餐椅與電視背牆使客、餐廳區域之間擁有回字型動線互相連結外，不同機能區擁有半隱私的領域界定。使機能上得以滿足生活，同時整體空間感得以保持通透。牆面上隱約的線性符號以「柱」為中心環繞整個空間，以抽象的時鐘意象表現時間、象徵傳承，從經典時代到當代美學的表現轉變。在實品屋的空間中，利用簡約的手法詮釋時間與傳承的抽象概念、當代生活與藝術的融合。

Serving as a pivot in the space, a unique pillar is installed and functions as a starting point from which different functional areas are distinguished. Shared dining furniture and a television back wall form a rectangular circulation that interconnects the living room and dining room. This design defines the semiprivate border of different functional areas to satisfy user needs while maintaining the openness of the overall space. The obscure linear symbols on the walls surround the entire space with the pillar as the center. The abstract clock image symbolize the concept of time and inheritance, manifesting the transition from classic to modern aesthetics. In this model home, simplicity is employed to interpret the abstract concepts of time and inheritance as well as the integration of contemporary life and arts.

在一個屬於自我的小空間，擁有領域感時，能感到完全的自在。在一個遼闊的環境中，擁有開放的視野，能感到放鬆、悠閒。透過三個自由向上的屋頂造型，界定了室內空間各自的領域，滿足這兩個看似矛盾，卻可以同時存在的概念。在沒有阻隔的開放空間中依然擁有不同的感受，亦能保有開闊的視野及自在遊走之間的體驗。塗料的紋路與質地在天花與牆面上像是產生了延伸，弧形的連結消彌、模糊了邊界，與木質挑高屋頂打造擁有概念的形體、天然材質的運用搭配，營造整體空間無拘束、自在的放鬆感受。

Three roofs protrude from a paper-thin ceiling in this room, creating a wide space and providing a sense of territoriality. This space also guarantees an open spacious feeling for people living inside. A curve spontaneously penetrates the entire space, picturing a story line engraved with the memory and life of its residents. This is a home where people can relax and feel comfortable with.

以兩面長向迎光製造全室的通透感，使空氣、光線、視線與生活動線在空間中皆有了重置，重新產生許多流動。以沃克板分割設計作為居所的抽象地圖，客廳牆面成為一幅獨一無二的藝術畫作外，使用者也生活在其中，像是創造著屬於自己的生活軌跡。以乾淨的形體、線條呈現圓弧、正方等幾何簡約之美，表現細膩卻扎實、穩重與內斂的現代表情，以微量點綴的玻璃材質於簡約的空間中，製造虛實視線與光線的變化。

The segmenting design of Valchromat becomes an abstract map of the house, turning the wall of the living room into a one of a kind art piece, allowing the residents to create their own life trajectory within the space. The overall design uses immaculate shapes and lines to demonstrate the beauty of geometric simplicity projected by curves and squares, exhibiting a delicate yet firm modern expression with a poised restraint. The limited use of ornamental glass in the minimalist space creates subtle changes in lighting that produce a distinctly misty view.

以共享作為概念發想，透過長向軸線雙面光線的共用來提升室內自然採光，並透過重疊領域的配置手法以實現機能共用、空間共享的理念。探討共用結合的形體而衍伸出拉鍊意象的交織型態，擁有開合自如的變化性，運用在整體區域的動線連結。鋪陳純淨平和的居家氛圍，運用自然的材質與顏色、簡單的形體與線條，構築樸實生活的簡約美學。

Based on the concept of sharing, a long, horizontal double-sided lighting surface was installed to improve the indoor lighting of multiple rooms. Moreover, an overlapping approach was employed to concretize the ideal of function and space sharing. The design concept accounts for spatial planning to alleviate the limited indoor space. This not only meets the functional requirements of each indoor area, but also takes into consideration the coordination and perceived spatial relationship between these areas.

從電影“親愛的，我把孩子縮小了” 得到了小宅設計反向思考的靈感。人的體積變小時，環境物體看起來變得巨大。傢俱的體積不變，但使用許多大比例的框架，像看電影畫面一般，試驗讓空間感與視線的框架一起放大。在天花板高度、與坪數大小的限制下，將大比例的框架放在小空間裡，利用大門片、大木框、大開口、大色塊等元素，破壞視覺比例，打破原始的空間感。

The movie Honey, I Shrunk the Kids inspired Studio In2 to experiment with the use of large frames to disrupt the original visual proportions and expand the sense of space in a small 66 square meter mezzanine apartment in one of Taipei’s most desirable and lively business districts. In the face of limited ceiling height and small floor space, big sliding door panels, big wooden frames, big openings, and big colored blocks were used to disrupt the visual proportions and challenge the original sense of space.

At Artisanal Teas, we view beverages as works of art. We use simple divisions and natural concrete colors to create a take-out space that feels like a modern art gallery. Our feature wall includes infrared-sensing acrylic light boxes, which respond to the tea beverages placed on them by emitting light, showcasing the beverages as works of art. Customers can interact with different colored light boxes and beverages in a variety of ways, which increases the artistic and interesting nature of the space. The idea of Artisanal Teas’ spherical ice balls originated from the shop’s ceiling design: a round skylight opens over the terrace, creating a cozy and minimalist atmosphere.

將窗景與陽光在空間的長向與短向貫穿連結。不同機能的過度區運用視覺穿透手法，製造樹景、光線與人在空間中產生不同層次的表現。將油漆溶解、磨平，讓四十年前保留至今的台灣檜木窗原貌重現，為空間增添、融合基地獨有的原始風格，並繼續傳承。在改變格局時，刻意保留原始的部分牆面，節省不必要的使用建材與浪費。將老舊的牆面洗白，賦予已斑駁的磁磚與紅磚牆新的模樣。純粹的空間似一塊白色畫布，任何顏色都能自由的展現。多開口的動線與穿透感的區間關係，皆希望使用者產生更多不同的生活發現，面對同一個空間能有不一樣的姿態想像。

The goal for this design was to construct a space suitable for creative work. In analyzing people’s everyday lives, we found that two thirds of our time is spent working, while one third is spent resting. The inspiration and creativity that we generate during the time we spend resting is injected into our work, forming a creative cycle of positive reinforcement. We have transferred these temporal ratios to the space itself, where we have constructed two types of functional areas: two thirds of the space serves as a work area, and one third of the space serves as a place of inspiration.

Future designs will gradually deemphasize the integration of Chinese and Western characteristics. Because it will be natural not to distinguish between one another in life, common ways of thinking will emerge between ourselves and homeowners who work abroad, resulting in an integrated “future contemporary” style; this style serves as the design concept for this home. By overlaying Eastern and Western paintings, we produced a completely new painting that is viewed as the inspiration for future cultural balance and mutual prosperity.

‘ 簡約但不簡單 ’的理念，從餐點、品牌、到空間貫穿著Kitchen10的經營態度。在有限的空間中，利用開放式廚房將用餐與料理區域完全相連在一起，客人不因座位不同而被區分開。讓所有的座位都視為一體，並提供一個相對自由的動線，讓廚師可以輕鬆地招待到每一位客人為主要的設計概念。

Starting from the “less is more “ idea, we’d like to make the interior space as simple as possible. Therefore, we believe that the opened kitchen idea is not just the visual concept of the space, it should be physically opened. We want the cooking area can be fully surrounded and connected with the dining area (tables and bar). People should not be distinguished by tables or areas, so how to achieve the “belong to one-piece” and also provide a free circulation for chefs, that they can serve customers in a more casual way, become the main concept for this project.

The instant that a ping pong ball falls into a cup is the most anticipated moment of a Beer Pong game. The ripples that form inside the cup serve as the inspiration for this design. The concept for the overall space uses concentric circles to spread gradually outwards from the center, creating free and unrestrained lines of movement. Areas that are closer to the center are focal points of activities. This design concept improves people’s sense of participation, and creates a space with an active, group-oriented, and lively bar atmosphere.

運用似”grid system”的概念表現在三度空間中，是由接觸平面設計師夫妻屋主獲得的靈感。在既規矩又有系統的格線框架中，表現不同量體的比例和配置為主要的概念，因此線條、網格、塊體與顏色成為關鍵的元素。基地本身的建築結構樑、柱即視為空間圖紙上的”grid system”，各個機能領域則視作內容; 搭配不同色塊的表現，探討如何在格線框架及準則中讓內容表現出自由、獨特的編排，提升空間設計和使用者之間的連結與互動。

The “grid system” is one of the most important guidelines employed for typesetting and designing layouts in the field of graphic design. This project has been inspired by a house–owning couple, who are graphic designers as well. Hence, this project is founded on a similar concept that involves three-dimensional representations in space. Through the incorporation of these guidelines, the proposed primary design concept entails the representation of proportion and configuration of different quantities and colors within a systematic gridline framework. Therefore, the main elements of this design concept consist of lines, grids, blocks, and colors. 

Conceptually, the beams and columns of the site itself can be considered as a “grid system” in the proposed space-drawings, while each functional area in the house space can be considered as “content”. By arranging different color blocks, various approaches can be explored that allow the free expression of a design’s content within the framework of a grid system. Furthermore, the application of distinct arrangements for improving the associations and interactions between the spatial design and the user can also be studied.

面對狹長型空間的單面採光，避免使用傳統隔間高牆做法，如何在小空間裡製造另一個空間的感覺，而發展了「框」的概念。利用框的自然木質色，製造臥室的舒適度與包覆感，形成小空間裡的另一個睡眠空間。也透過框，使得光線進入屋內的顏色更柔和、產生不同的色溫變化。

The frame is the key to the space to connect interior and the outside landscape. From inside to outside, it creates a perfect framed view, the reverse side, it could be seen as an abstract painting with a pure white background. However, using this frame idea can create a "space inside space" concept to separate areas to provide each area a better field dependence without any partition wall, and open a straight access allow the daylighting spread into interior space.

Breaking the traditional boundaries between indoor and outdoor space, the apartment uses two double-doors to create a corridor experience. This creates a higher unification of the circulation lines that run through the entire space and transforms the traditional distinction between single entry-exit circulation lines, thereby making movement within the space more free. Within the space, the thickness of the walls has been deliberately designed to create the feeling of a corridor, and arched, steel-framed French doors are used to lead out to a landscaped balcony. In order to break up the original long, narrow balcony, making use of a fixed amount of interior space, the boundaries of the balcony are extended towards the interior, reforming the balcony into a square terrace. This provides a completely different feeling for while still using the apartment's original space.

以現代藝術畫作為設計的出發點，透過線條和塊體的組合，將平面的畫作表現在三度空間裡。將室內空間視為一張三度空間的抽象畫，讓象徵mid-century modern的pattern在空間裡自由跳動，強調空間獨特性和藝術性。

Absorbing the advantages of modern art and refining the geometry and lines into a three dimensional space is the main design concept of this project. We actually thought about this house as a three-dimensional abstract painting which combines the ideas and elements that had been taken from classic mid-century modern art works.

Well-known artist such as Friedrich Vordemberge-Gildewart, Piet Cornelies Modrian, le Corbusie, soon came to mind and became our inspiration. Both of these works are known for their composition of lines, squares and colors - which reaches towards perfect proportions from irregular composition, just like modern artists who find the balance between innovation and tradition. The interior design idea follows the "modern pattern" from elevation to space itself. Each wall should be seen as an abstract modern painting, and then brings the elements from the wall again, into interior space.

新婚夫妻的第一間房，視為彼此人生新里程的開始。一個過去與未來的交界，像蟲洞一般的時空跨界，看見奇幻未知的想像空間，無規則、自由、寧靜，卻時而充滿速度的穿越旅程．這個概念延伸至傢俱與飾品的挑選、陳列，為整體空間除了舒適的現代感，增添獨一無二的生活奇趣。

The very first house of a newlywed couple is a point of intersection of the old and the new that marks a new chapter in their life. Our designer was inspired by the homeowner’s ideas and developed the ‘Vision’ design concept. The ‘Vision’ concept connects time and space like a wormhole connecting the universe. It invites us to go on a magical journey into an unknown land of imagination with limitless freedom and quietness, but at the same time thrills us with the exciting speed of space travel. The choice and arrangement of the furniture and accessories resonate with the design concept while simultaneously bringing a comfortable sense of modernity into the space.

將抽象的思考動作具體化，得以在一張白紙上勾勒出線條。思考的面向就像光影的角度與變化，每個人看到的細節畫面都不盡相同，因而衍伸出一種思緒的形體，創造想享空間，享受在寧靜份圍中思考的過程。由於風水與基地上的限制產生的狹長走道，透過設計概念的導入，化作造型特色走道與牆面，增添狹長空間的生氣與彈性。空間的機能性藉由特殊的縱向式活動門片，製造多種變化：一間大會議空間、或兩間小會議空間伴隨著概念長廊，或將所有門片敞開，形成一個無走廊的完全開放空間。亦或是運用門片的擺放，製造出開放式動線的藝廊型空間。

The Thinking Gallery Space provides rental services for exhibitions, parties, and classes.

Concretizing abstract thinking enables us to sketch outlines on paper. The orientations of thought are like angles and changes in light and shadow, and different people do not necessarily see details of pictures in the same way. Based on this, we derived a means by which to embody thought and created the Thinking Gallery Space, which allows us to enjoy the thinking process in a tranquil atmosphere. 

The concept is divided into two independent entities, which formed the design inspiration for the two visual walls. Interlacing blocks, line proportion arrangements, and variously oriented light and shadow formations were used to create the artistic atmosphere for the space. 

Long and narrow corridors were created based on considerations for Feng Shui and physical restrictions of the building. The design concepts were transformed to feature corridors and walls that enhance the dynamics and versatility of the long and narrow space. The functionality of the space is diverse owing to the incorporation of special vertically moveable doors and flexible panels. Thus, the space can function as a large conference room or two small meeting rooms separated by the flexible panels in between; alternatively, all of the doors and panels can be removed to form a completely open space without a corridor, or the moveable doors and panels can be arranged to create an open and dynamic gallery space.

Embedding

Stickley furniture is known for its stable and high quality workmanship. One of the quintessential techniques which we can find in any craftsman style furniture such as Stickley’s is embedding; the cutting of pieces of elements into specific shapes around the junctions then connected nicely to make extremely strong and stable structures. Finally, surfaces are smoothed and a final coating is applied. This process shows the passion and professionalism in Stickley’s work. I was inspired by the process of his furniture production, especially with how each element connects to one another. I believe the word “embedded” will be a nice concept for the project. It expresses the idea of connecting people to the building, as well as embedding the building with the environment.

Modern Pattern

Absorbing the advantages of modern art and refining the geometry and lines into a three dimensional space is the main design concept of this project. Since both of the clients are modern artists, the place in which they reside should reflect what they are doing. I actually thought about this house as a three-dimensional abstract painting which combines the ideas and elements that had been taken from classic modern art paintings.

Friedrich Vordemberge-Gildewart and Piet Cornelies Mondrian first came to mind and soon became my inspiration. Both of these works are known for their composition of lines, squares and colors -- which reaches towards perfect proportions from irregular composition, just like modern artists who find the balance between innovation and tradition. The entire building follows the “modern pattern” from exterior to interior and from the first floor to top of the building. The goal is to treat every corner of the space as an abstract modern painting, to be not only playful but interesting and full of artistic atmosphere.

Here Music There Design (H.M.T.D) is an international firm focusing on music production and recording. They also do visual integrations which include visual and motion graphic designs for albums and commercial brand identification. H.M.T.D provides a one-stop shop for album recording all the way to the visual works for the album to enhance the band’s or musician’s recognition.

Rhythm

“Rhythm” is the design concept for the H.M.T.D corporate office. The word “rhythm” always reminds people to think of music, but if we transform this word into design, we can understand that both music and design are actually following the same idea.
 
When we arrange the melody of a song, we set the mood by incorporating emotion; by knowing when’s the perfect time to make the song louder or when decrescendo to a softer volume. This directly correlates to design. For example, we need to know when to leave a space empty or where to pop out colors. The purpose of both music and design is to communicate, influence, and attract people. However, “rhythm” is what sets the pace and connects them nice and close.

Concept - Layers

Inspired by the process of tile production, especially the multi-layering of each tile, we are able to refine this overlapping idea into the interior space design. A tile can break down roughly into three separate layers -- the foundation layer at the bottom, the painted surface layer in middle, and the glazed top layer. By applying this idea into the space, the showroom at the front can represent the glazed top layer by polishing their products. The space between the showroom and office can be seen as the middle layer, with a more fun and creative atmosphere. Finally, the office at the back is the foundation layer to support the entire space and company. The layers can be integrated nice and close, just like a beautiful and solid piece of tile. 

Reflect from nature

Inspired from the process of diamond production and other forms of gemstones, the faceting and polishing of the surface into various directions allows the natural beauty from the surrounding environment to be absorbed. The charm of diamonds and its shiny surface caused by its reflection and refraction from surrounding light shows how a rough stone can still become a precious treasure. This symbolizes how we bring nature into human civilization. Therefore, my design concept is to enlarge the scale of this idea, focusing on how to extend natural forms from the surrounding area into the store. The connection with nature eliminates the typical atmosphere of other high-end jewelry stores. The goal is to create a space with a story and culture.

MOVEMENT

Movement can be represented by the beauty created by people, which also represent Macy’s readiness to move to the next step. I was inspired by the aesthetics of movement created by the human body. By abstracting human movements, such as the way we walk or the way we dance, the lines and shapes can be interpreted into a beautiful image just like an abstract painting. Transferring the paths and waves of people’s movement into three dimensions is my main design concept for this project. The combination of soft lines and graceful shapes can symbolize the elegance of women and also makes the space more dynamic.

The Shape of light

My inspiration comes from the nature of light and shadow. The geometry and the way how sunlight and shadows stagger is the major concept of my design. People will like being surrounded by the light and shadows inside this space. They can feel as if they’re part of those shapes and can also see each corner of the space as an abstract painting.

The Mystery

The mystery is the name I give to this project. And the growth ring is my design concept for this Columbia retail store design, my inspiration comes from the nature wood patterns. The target customers of the Columbia Sport are those people who love explore and adventure, so I try to treat all the wood patterns from two dimensional into three dimensional to represent the mystery or discovery, allow the customers can enjoy the experience of the interior space.

Nest

My design concept is based on how birds build their nests. Birds selectively carry materials they need such as branches and leaves from thousand miles away, back and forth, step by step, they start to build a strong and warm nest for their little ones. This story can apply to the design of a conference room. A conference room is a place where everybody brings their thoughts and ideas together with the intent of building a strong business together.

Paul’s Hat Work was opened by Napoleon Marquez in 1918. So far the Paul’s Hat Work has gone through more than 90 years, and hat’s market was keep changing time after time. However, the current owners (the four ladies) continue the traditional technique doing handmade hat for customers and combine the traditional style into new generation.

My design concept is a time-tunnel which is based on the hat’s historic story background, and it can also represent the Paul’s Hat Work has gone through the past to present. From entrance to the end of the store, the materials will gradually turn from woods to white paints, which represent the merge between transitional and contemporary.

Summit is building a mountain town around the spirit of innovation in the heart of Utah's Wasatch Mountains.

California Lawyers for the Arts (CLA) is a non-profit organization founded in 1974 to provide legal services to artists and members of the creative arts community. CLA’s leadership and services strengthen the arts for the benefit of communities throughout California.

This office is the connection between the artists and the lawyers, so the interior spaces should reflect both artistic and mature atmosphere.  “Art “is my design concept, I see the interior space as a three dimensional canvas, and the furniture are the pigments which sprayed into the space, some geometric shapes, lines and special floor patterns are also symbolized the composition of a drawing. I use some heavy feeling materials such as wood, stone, and marble for most of the finishes to express the mature aspect of the space
