Modern Forest: Aesthetic Meets Functionality in Residential Design

Chien Wei Lin and Chun Fu Development's Award-Winning Design Inspired by Nature

The Aesthetic of Modern Forest stands out for its unique lobby design, which uses irregular facades and a divided ceiling to depict a forest image. The minimalist German-style floor-to-ceiling window, the irregularly cut mass shape of the front desk, and the marble finish all contribute to the overall elegance of the space. The design team has strategically placed various sizes of stone-shaped couches in front of the window to create a natural Zen atmosphere, complementing the exterior landscape.

Functionality and practicality are at the heart of this design. The materials used, predominantly metal and wood veneer, were chosen for their durability and low maintenance. The walls are covered with high-grade ceramic tiles and stone materials, and the lighting in each space uses customized, environmentally friendly LED lights. The lobby floor is made of dark marble stone, while the gym and reading areas have wooden floors, adding to the classy texture of the space.

One of the challenges faced by the design team was how to present the forest vocabulary in a modern way. The construction team had to be meticulous with the use of irregular cutting materials to ensure accuracy. The result is a space that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional and durable.

The design team's research focused on creating a comfortable, relaxing, and elegant public space for the residents, who are mostly IT engineers and professionals. The design style is simple yet elegant, avoiding complicated elements and using clean and simple design techniques. The materials used are durable and require low maintenance, making the space practical for the residents.

The Aesthetic of Modern Forest is a testament to Chien Wei Lin and Chun Fu Development's creativity and ability to transform a space into a modern, functional, and aesthetically pleasing environment. The design, which was completed in October 2019 in Hsinchu, Taiwan, is a reflection of the team's dedication to creating spaces that are not only visually appealing but also functional and durable.

Chien Wei Lin and Chun Fu Development's Aesthetic of Modern Forest is a perfect example of how design can be inspired by nature and transformed into a modern, functional, and elegant space. The design's success is a testament to the team's creativity, innovation, and dedication to their craft.
