Bright Corridor
Residential for Chien Hwan Associates
The team selects blue in various shades and materials as the carrier of the vertical space. For example, the Prussian blue steel staircase that extends from the first floor to the patio is complemented by vertical and horizontal volume inlays in various areas, including TV cabinets, storage cabinets, wall panels, and kitchen tiles. At the same time, the warp and weft weave of the Bolon carpet can be seen from different angles with different shades of weave patterns. The public space on the first floor has a touch of Art Deco style.

Unique Properties
With a modern style, the design team chose blue as the main tone of the space, expecting to create a low-key and calm atmosphere. The design team combines traditional totems and metal parts with various design techniques to realize the rich layers of different materials in the same tone. In addition to reorganizing the vertical route of the space and installing an elevator, the public area is also designed with a transparent route and multifunctional activity area. The private areas have excellent lighting in the bedrooms, allowing sufficient daylight and efficient use of space.

Design Challenge
When the design team re-planned the vertical route, in addition to avoiding beams and floor slabs, they also had to confirm whether the location, depth, and size of the elevator shaft met the requirements of equipment and evaluate the structural strength of the building with structural technicians before finalizing the plan.
Project Duration
The project started and finished in Taichung City.
Operation Flow
After the creation of the patio, the clients have repeatedly commented that they do not need to turn on the lights when it is sunny and that they can sense the weather changes better. The original polished stone flooring was replaced by Bolon carpet so that the clients can walk around barefoot in winter without getting cold. Increased the size of the small bathroom to three to four times after the renovation. After re-planning, each bedroom can accommodate a double bed and a dressing room.
Research
The design team not only used the corners as a storage room but also reshaped the layout and reduced the irregularity of the building's contours to maximize the use of space. Created more spacious and ventilated independent bathrooms. The multi-purpose room on the second floor is separated by four sliding doors, which can be expanded as a living room or study room. The door can be fully closed and locked from the inside to become a temporary room and can be used as a projection screen by lowering the white roller shutter.
Inspiration
The retired couple wants to install an elevator in their four-story house, which is more than 25 years old, to make their home barrier-free. The design team demolished the original layout and reconfigured the vertical route, which not only eliminates the disadvantage of the long and narrow corridor that is closed and dark but also reorganizes the corners to make full use of the space. It is worth mentioning that to solve the problem of poor lighting, the design team has created a patio in the center of the roof to introduce the sunlight to the staircase.
