Forest Library

Interior Design

The Forest Library, designed by Yi-Lun Hsu, is an interior design project located in Hsinchu City, Taiwan. As a Minatural Design's office space, the primary goal of this project is to achieve a harmonious relationship between man and nature. The design inspiration for the Forest Library came from the small area of the single floor, which led to the decision not to set up an independent executive office. Instead, the main office area is placed by the window side, allowing design workers to enjoy the sunlight and high-rise view.

The Forest Library stands out from other office spaces due to its unique features and strengths. The integration of nature and life in the office space creates a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. The large windows provide ample natural light, while small couches and cabinets along the windows offer additional seating and storage options. The entrance area cleverly hides a storage room behind the LOGO wall, maximizing the use of space.

The Forest Library is not only visually appealing but also functional. The meeting room features a clear glass compartment to reduce the feeling of limited space. Floor-to-ceiling wooden bookshelves line the walls, housing hundreds of design books, materials, and artwork. The overall space is transformed into a forest library, with hanging green plants and natural light creating a serene and inspiring environment.

Completed in 2019, the Forest Library showcases the successful realization of the designer's vision. The integration of cement ceiling and the LOGO wall, along with the wooden bookshelves and conference table, creates a cohesive and inviting space. The Forest Library received the Bronze A' Design Award in 2020 for its outstanding and creatively ingenious design. This award recognizes designs that incorporate best practices in art, science, design, and technology, contributing to quality of life improvements.

The Forest Library, with its unique design and focus on the harmonious relationship between man and nature, sets a new standard for office spaces. It provides a comfortable and inspiring environment for design workers, promoting creativity and productivity.
