ASSCETIC interior of Townhaus with a weightless staircase: the project of the Taiwanese design studio KS 3.0

The next customer of KS 3.0 is the owner of a spacious four-story Townhouse in the center of Sinhu, in the north-west of Taiwan. In the first place in his checklist of wishes is the simplicity, openness and functionality of each meter.

Concept: Cozy asceticism and functional steps

The designers, together with the customer, designated the main task of the project – the maximum preservation of space due to the rejection of unnecessary details and a carefully verified layout, which would take into account the preferences and habit of all the inhabitants of the house. The warm beige atmosphere is designed to compensate for the coldness and asceticism of the interior, enveloping with comfort, peace and harmony.

The “soul” at home – the central staircase – connects all four tower of Townhaus. It cannot be called a completely independent design.

Each step is folded like building blocks and organizes different layers of space. In places, the staircase smoothly passes into the architectural elements of the interior, forming catwalks, consoles and shelves, which demonstrates unity, functionality and fluidity of design.

Layout: 6 rooms, 4 floors and central staircase

Compared to a regular apartment, the layout of Townhouse includes a lot of nuances. In addition to determining the functions and plan of each floor, it was important for designers to maintain the confidentiality and safety of the dwelling due to simple strict lines, comfortable steps, modern technological systems, and natural materials.

The original closed staircase is removed to let the light into the room through large gaps between spans and steps, forming various effects of light and shadow.

On the first basement, parking is provided, a large lounge zone, a bar, a bathroom, a pantry. Given the preferences of the hospitable owner for the tasting of wines, gatherings with family and friends, designers organized a bar rack and a comfortable room for entertainment.

The problem of insufficient lighting was solved by a light window through which natural light penetrates into the dark semi -basement room. On the second floor there are a compact kitchen and a living room united with a dining room.

The third tier is occupied by two small bedrooms of bathrooms and a multifunctional room. The house completes the house, completely dedicated to the private area of ​​the owners. It equipped a master of a spell, a bathroom and a dressing room. The last two floors have exits to cozy balconies with greens.

Materials and finishing: pacifying monochrome and warming tree

In the design of the space, different materials and shades are combined, emphasizing the details of the interior and reviving a strict layout. A warming tree, light mineral paint of beige shades with rare inclusions of metal and marble support a harmonious and respectable relaxation atmosphere.

Smooth walls smoothly flow into relief lattices, shutters, racks and steps. The heroine of the project – the staircase – consists of three materials harmoniously combined with each other: concrete, wood, plastic and metal. Due to the light finish and the absence of the railing, it seems that the steps seem to be soared in zero gravity.

Interior decor and furniture: hotel ergonomics combined with home comfort

The details of the central staircase seem to “spread” throughout the house, merging with the floor, walls, furniture and performing various functions. The lounge-zone raised due to the podium and steps allows guests to freely be located on the ledges and communicate more freely, contacting, sitting on chairs or chairs. The steps in the living room, in addition to the benches, form a console and the base for a biofamine.

The private area is inspired by hotel interiors in which the owner of the house often has to stop. The hotel functional style is integrated into everyday life, softened by cozy home accessories and abundant herbs.

Original design solutions add the charm interior: elongated low window sills simultaneously play the role of convenient benches for relaxation and reading, and a group of swing door-stitches lead to the lounge zone.

The furniture is selected to match the rooms – the same voluminous, simple, monochrome and comfortable. Thanks to the rich upholstery of sofas and chairs, plain rooms are noticeably reviving. Due to hidden corps structures and niches, built -in, invisible lamps, the space does not lose volume and conciseness.
