DESIGN NAME: Transient Light
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Shared Space
INSPIRATION: The base is a shared space for the community. The building is surrounded by greenery, and the power of nature has a close relationship with people. Inspired by the 'seed', the designer developed a series of designs based on its key elements, such as its rounded shape, hard shell, and spirit of growth. Taking advantage of the high ceilings of the base, the designer integrated the homogenous natural elements inside and outside the building to create an open and comfortable shared space.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The base is a shared space for the community. The building is surrounded by greenery, and the power of nature has a close relationship with people. Inspired by the "seed", the designer developed a series of designs based on its key elements, such as its rounded shape, hard shell, and spirit of growth. Taking advantage of the high ceilings of the base, the designer integrated the homogenous natural elements inside and outside the building to create an open and comfortable shared space.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The overall effect is quite exquisite and high-quality. The dark tone and mirror visual effects enhance the quality of life and taste. The most laborious curved glass bookcase brings rhythm to the space, unlike the traditional square bookcase, it is practical and artistic. Last but not least, the imagery of seeds is perfectly embedded in all areas. Whether it is the arc, the organic shape, or the concept of environmental protection, they all reflect the core spirit of the base.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project finished in July 2023 in Taiwan.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Interior Space and Exhibition Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Building materials: 60.120cm imported tiles, glass, 100.100cm sheets, marble, Japanese diatomaceous earth wallpaper, grilles, and baking paint.
The project is embellished with earthy tones. In grayscale, the designer used curved elements to balance the overly cool atmosphere. The panels and wallpaper have a soft impression. The veneer, with its embossed effect, presents a subtle visual effect in the large color block. The wallpaper, on the other hand, has a mineral gold powder coating, which makes the curved surfaces even more delicate.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The base has a total area of 353.7 square meters and includes a reception center, reading area, video room, and gym.
In a space with a ceiling height of 4.5 meters, there are no physical partitions between areas except for the video room. For example, the reception center and the reading area are bounded by curved bookshelves made of black glass, while the gym is separated by black glass and surrounded by glass curtains to achieve bright lighting.
TAGS: Seed, natural, high ceiling, large area, nature, curves, art.
RESEARCH ABSTRACT: In nature, 'fragmentation' is defined as the continuous division of a fixed geometric shape into several parts that maintain a self-similar nature. The jagged shape of a leaf can be seen as several isosceles trapezoidal shapes, as is the philosophy of the project 'Transient Light'.
Whether it's the lighting fixture on the ceiling, the display cabinets, the tables in the reception center, etc., all of them are made of geometric shapes with curves. The project is well-lit, and 'Transient Light' means being surrounded by light.
CHALLENGE: The theme of 'Seed' is distinctive, so it was inevitable to have conflicts in the communication with the owner. For example, the white baked glass of the entrance was originally designed as a logo, and the designer added the digital concept to allow the visual effect to change according to different angles, creating a work with artistic value. Weighing up the best effect was a challenge of the designer's aesthetic compromise and criteria.
