操作晴天工程與EGG雜誌多年後,台中BASE將是全然的以設計者角度出發的“一個家”概念的延伸,當人們在城市中不斷移動與不斷重複生活內容與居住模式,這個概念店將宣示一個新型態“住”的概念。地點就位在台中七期重劃區的潮陽路上。
使用機能上除了傳統建築事務所的功能外,也將有CAFE、飯店劇場、家具傢飾展售等,是一個兼具展示與生活功能的示範空間—SHOW SUITE。空間概念的整合與呈現,則是企圖從裡翻到外,私密變公共,公共變私密的兩面性出發,這兩面性刻意讓介面更模糊,功能相互支援與重疊,也回應在材質的使用上,例如建築體使用黑色防水磚,把裡材變成面材使用,刻意呈現一種過程,基地成為一種場域。
建築外觀使用黑色面材,可預期的,黑色的建築量體飄在水上,建築量體在光影下將會變得模糊,黑色的房子在水面上會有黑色的倒影,倒影會晃動,讓整個量感在光影之下,隱約變成模糊的型態。這個晴天工的基地,將揭示一種過程的呈現。
Qing Tech's Taichung Base is a completely new project for ourselves, designed for and by designers. As we're entering an increasingly nomadic age where work and life are increasingly blurred, this project will showcase a new concept of living, located in the Seventh Redevelopment District in Taichung.
Outside of the obvious architecture studio, the project includes a café, performance spaces, a furniture showroom, etc—a veritable “Show Suite,” if you will. The space is
designed with the concept “Inside-Out,” where private functions and spaces are made public and vice versa. As an extension of this concept, the exterior is surfaced with an interior material: black waterproof tiles.
Completely black on the outside, the structure become an indefinite blur where shadows dissolve into itself. With a similarly black reflecting pool sitting underneath, the building melts away, its reflection a shimmer of black on black.
