Bright Corridor

The team selects blue in various shades and materials as the carrier of the vertical space. For example, the Prussian blue steel staircase that extends from the first floor to the patio is complemented by vertical and horizontal volume inlays in various areas, including TV cabinets, storage cabinets, wall panels, and kitchen tiles. At the same time, the warp and weft weave of the Bolon carpet can be seen from different angles with different shades of weave patterns, and the difference between gray and blue makes the connection in the space more harmonious. The public space on the first floor has a special touch of Art Deco style. The design team chose metal elements as the edge lines and lighting fixtures and added totem elements on the façade to match, successfully embellishing the decorative elements in the space, giving the space a different and elegant atmosphere. The retired couple wants to install an elevator in their four-story house, which is more than 25 years old, to make their home barrier-free. Considering that the existing layout can no longer meet the future living needs, the design team demolished the original layout and reconfigured the vertical route, which not only eliminates the disadvantage of the long and narrow corridor that is closed and dark but also reorganizes the corners to make full use of the space. It is worth mentioning that to solve the problem of poor lighting, the design team has created a patio in the center of the roof to introduce the sunlight to the staircase, thus making the clients' daily life more comfortable and spacious. This project uses Bolon carpets that meet the stander of Green Mark. Compared with general flooring materials, it is wear-resistant, easy to clean, and recyclable, in line with the concept of sustainability. Besides, in this project, except for the storage room, all the other rooms have windows, and the master bathroom on the second floor uses concrete tiles to maintain ventilation.
