Shin-Yi Lin ("SL") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work Urban Nature Residential House. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
SL : With only 2 people living in this spacious house, providing different usage of each and every corner is the first thought, and creating a stress-releasing home is the primary goal. Introducing the smell of woods and greens into the interior space, slowing down the pace and merge into the air of relax. With a smooth and lazy tune, it is a relaxing scene of dancing through the leaf carpets bathing in a sunshine covered field. An atmosphere that could absorb new life and fresh air everywhere is a perfect start for a new home.
SL : The movements in the house are like dancing curves, neglecting the memorized routes, leading the clients to see their home in many different perspectives and provides little surprises and joy in every corner. Delivering a new concept of living by altering the passage through the house, and make the clients discover new angles of their home every day.
SL : Expose this design to other countries.
SL : It took me about 12~18 months to finish the detail design including the interior furnishing and decoration touches.
SL : The most interesting thing is to break the rule. The rule to be broke in this design is the route. Directing the users to use the interior space with a unique layout creates a different usage in the home they used to live. Not only did the house start a new life but the people living in it obtain new joy.
SL : The layout is more like an liver shaped size than an upright square or rectangle shape. Which makes the floor plan more challenging but also more interesting than a regular one. In order to obtain all the private functions for the clients, 3 main domain is being divided. After the dissecting creates the rhythm in every region that can make automatically give a relax feeling while the interior routes connects each other wherever they go.
SL : Interesting angles can be found everywhere when moving around the mansion.
SL : It is the most important to release everyday stress and refresh him/herself again each and every other day. The space is created to help the users to feel relax and find inner peace after bathing in the busy world.
SL : The movements in the house are like dancing curves, delivering a new concept of living by altering the passage through the house.
SL : I just want to share this interesting project to the world.
SL : Realizing the idea into practical objects needs a lot of technical support and a lot of help from many people, somehow the most important thing is the total trust from the client. Very grateful for the belief they have in me.
