RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Investigating how to make a good ventilation and lead the light into the house. For the lighting design, we have consulted a professional on lighting design to join the design of the wall lamp and pendant. Due to some special condition of the house, we design a pendant and wall lamp in order to fit in the design of the house. A Table is the name of the pendant which located on the ceiling of the dining room. Inheritance is the major concept of the design. The shape and mold of the ceiling extended from living room to the dining table. We combined difference type of log and diverse of illuminant. It enhances the light in the form of floodlight and spot light. When the light cast on the table, it feels like a family gathers under the banyan trees and it connected relationship and tied up a family. This is how a traditional Taiwanese used to do.
The wall lamp called Trumpet JC-1, located on the wall between the staircase of 2nd floor. There is no suitable wall lamp that is able to fit or bear on the wall. Therefore, the idea of do it yourself burst out. Trumpet JC-1is an unique wall lamp that combines with the idea of both decoration and light into the design which is breaking through the traditional concept of lamp. Trumpet JC-1 means to declare a family is going to start their new life and expanded in this place. Moreover, the uneven metal pipes arranged in up and down position meaning the notes of trumpet in the way of different rhythm.
CHALLENGE: To achieve cost control is the first issue we need to consider due to the limitation on the budget of the client. We need to fulfill the 4-story villa, including the construction design, landscape and interior design under the budget, but we also take care of the quality.
The building construction is not in charge by our team, (we in charge of the building design and interior design) therefore, we cannot control the quality of the construction. During the process of construction, we became the consultant of the construction team. We instructed them on the way of constructions in order to meet our standard and quality. Moreover, we need to do some modification and repair after the construction is done in order to fit in our quality of design.
