Interview with Fabio Su at Monday 20th of May 2024

FS: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?
FS: Architecture can be said to be the sum of the parts connected by nodes. The relationship between nodes exists in materials, proportions, light and shade, and color, in the subtle relationship of exclusion or mutual attraction, and is expressed through integration or concealment, giving it a tangible creation and vitality. To integrate the staircase from the 1st to 4th floor, the designer used grille lines paired with stainless steel and glass interfaces, supplemented by linear strip lighting, to create a floating and light appeal. The side of the building is also designed in the form of a glass house with a constant temperature wine cellar to enrich the living function and manifest personal taste at the same time. The staircase is decorated with thin slabs of colorful stone and linear light strips, extending the impression of the building's sleek and stylish design language. As an interface derived from various materials, in the nodes or color sequences, interlaced and juxtaposed with the corresponding layers of light and shadow, emphasizing the continuity from point to line and plane, and at the same time becoming a perfect expression of the fusion of different materials and mosaic art, so that when the eyes stop at any angle in the space, one can feel the vertical and horizontal tension between the real and the virtual.

FS: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?
FS: The design of the space focuses on the expression of continuity, through transitions and extending the aesthetics of visual contrast, eliminating structural stress through perfect ratios. The unique taste and character of the homeowners are embodied through their behavior patterns.

It has resort beauty and living functions. Here, there are 700 bald cypress trees and more than 90,000 shrubs in the building hinterland.

FS: What is the most unique aspect of your design?
FS: The light source of the entire residence, whether recessed, projected or indirect, is mainly composed of LED, which not only saves energy, but also responds to the demand for green and eco-friendly living.

FS: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?
FS: In consideration of the building's surrounding environment with 700 Deciduous Cypress trees and over 90,000 shrubs, packaged in a forest manor form with a separate 3-car courtyard, the interior design introduces the beauty of the environment and architectural lines, complemented by natural stone, solid wood, and special paint, which blend perfectly with the beautiful outdoor environment. The interior lines are determined and echoed by the building's volume. In the process of area transitions, the continuity of lines and surfaces is used to maintain continuity, so that the vision can appreciate the harmonious rhythm of the space while wandering, making it possible to appreciate the rhythm of harmony in the space. The formation of the interface is no longer just a singular effect, it can be an intermediary that defines two areas, a hidden storage space, or even a paving with different materials, which endows the space with another expression.
