The inspiration for Seamless Blank came from the owner's unique lifestyle. In the initial stages, several discussions were held to ensure a thorough understanding of the owner's life. This understanding formed the basis for the main design ideas. The design is not just a style, but a lifestyle. The most suitable textures, materials, and lifestyle elements were identified to create a "home" that reflects the family's warmth.
Seamless Blank stands out due to its unique properties. The house, situated in a long-shaped building, features a wide-view kitchen at its core. This unique view allows the mother to keep an eye on the living and reading rooms. To create a warm atmosphere, the steel beam was converted into a wood beam, supporting the common field of the whole family. Additionally, a wall-to-ceiling wrap with Thuja plicata wood was added, echoing the porch's cabinet and adding warmth to the spacious and icy space.
The design was realized using a variety of materials including Thuja plicata wood, Italian mineral paint, painted stainless steel iron, white painted glass, Lotus soil, and granite seamless flooring. The technical specifications of the design are Width 21160 mm x Depth 10040 mm x Height 3600 mm, covering an area of 224 square meters.
Designing Seamless Blank was not without its challenges. The main challenge was to strike a balance between aesthetics and functionality. The design needed to be beautiful, but it also needed to serve the functional needs of a family, including providing enough storage space. This challenge was overcome through careful planning and design.
The design was created in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, with the project starting in January 2017 and finishing in July 2018. The design process involved extensive research, including the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) to facilitate smooth communication with clients and prepare detailed construction drawings. The design also focused on creating a healthy house, using non-poisonous materials and incorporating safe details and interactive spaces.
Seamless Blank is a testament to Tienyu Wu's innovative design approach. The design was awarded Silver in A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award in 2019, a testament to its outstanding expertise and innovation. This design is not just about creating a beautiful house; it's about creating a lifestyle that reflects the owner's unique style and preferences.
