Museumism: A Minimalistic Residential Interior Design

Creating Artistic and Emotional Spaces

The Museumism design draws inspiration from the science of physics, specifically the concept of "moment" and "curvature." Moment refers to the rotational equivalent of linear force, while curvature defines the deviation from a straight line or plane. These principles shape the spatial form of the project, resulting in a design that culminates in artistic and emotional appeals.

What sets Museumism apart is its ability to strike a balance between austerity and extravagance. By incorporating subtraction design approaches and exploring the science of physics, the interior design maintains a strong and minimalistic identity. The layout of the space is carefully planned with artistic and pragmatic intentions, creating a consecutive dynamic rhythm. Additionally, the design includes two separate living areas, providing flexibility for the residents.

The realization of the Museumism design utilizes a harmonious proportion of shared and private spaces. With 244 square meters to work with, the layout consists of 50% shared areas and 50% private rooms. The use of low saturate colors and continuous curvy surfaces along walls and area borders not only indicate spatial identity but also serve aesthetic and subdivision functions. The inclusion of a sunroom, seamlessly connected to the dining island, ensures that each resident has an open space to relax.

Functionality is a key aspect of the Museumism design. The project emphasizes the quality of habitation by providing subdivided spaces in a ratio of 50% for public areas and 50% for private bedrooms. The sunroom, intentionally left as a void space, allows for multiple activities and ensures that every family member has their own open space.

The Museumism design was completed in November 2021 in Taipei City. The execution of the design required meticulous calculation and experienced craftsmanship to overcome the challenges posed by the free forms and organic shapes. The result is a design that effortlessly combines aesthetics, functionality, and emotional appeal.

StudioX4 holds the copyrights for the Museumism design, which has been recognized with the prestigious Bronze A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design category in 2022. This award acknowledges the design's outstanding creativity, resourcefulness, and contribution to improving the quality of life through its incorporation of art, science, design, and technology.
