Artistic Home Among Trees Public Space

Artistic Home Among Trees Public Space

Artistic Home Among Trees Public Space is an exemplary architectural achievement that seamlessly integrates Japanese design principles with contemporary public space functionality, located in Taoyuan City, Taiwan. This sophisticated residential community development, completed in December 2021, encompasses 5,487.44 square meters of thoughtfully designed space that serves as a harmonious transition between private and public domains. The design, which earned a Silver A' Design Award in Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design category, masterfully incorporates traditional Japanese aesthetic elements such as borrowed scenery techniques and natural materials, particularly evident in its extensive use of wooden grilles and indigenous hardwood. The space features a symmetrical floor plan anchored by a grand lobby with an elevated ceiling, utilizing a refined palette of dark-brown hardwood and natural stone to create an atmosphere of understated elegance. The design's distinctive character emerges through its integration of multiple functional areas, including an indoor swimming pool, multifunctional spaces, and a reading room, all connected by gallery hallways adorned with wooden sculptures themed around concepts of radiance, ascension, cohesion, reunion, and harvest. A particular innovation is the establishment of a Hardwood Art Museum within the space, where Eastern craftsmanship is celebrated through the artistic manipulation of natural materials. The project's environmental sensitivity is demonstrated through its extensive use of French windows that frame views of a meticulously landscaped Japanese courtyard, complete with pools, lawns, and Japanese white pine trees, effectively bringing the natural environment into the interior space and creating a living environment that exemplifies harmony between architecture and nature.
