A non-toxic home made of wood of Luanta-fir

About The Entry

To provide a healthy and happy environment for the houseowners' 2-year-old daughter to grow up in, we have remodeled the home by improving the existing layout. After removing the partition wall in the dining room and bedroom, the living room is maximized so that the family of three can enjoy a good time in the spacious living room. Organic mineral coating ensures that the TV wall is free of formaldehyde and plasticizers. Cabinets and headboards feature wood veneers with unique knots and growth rings. Layering wood veneers can save resources and minimize waste, create a more sustainable environment.

"Environmental sustainability" as the main design theme, we meticulously transform the Luanta-fir dismantled from the sauna in the hot springs hotel and breathe new life into its weathered grains and textures by repurposing and carving. Luanta-fir wood pieces of 10-centimeter long form a bathroom ceiling with mortise-and-tenon joints. Natural wax oils protect wood surfaces. One can immerse themselves in the heat and the fragrance of Luanta-fir wafting through the bathroom while taking a shower. Using reclaimed wood is a great way to reduce waste and conserve natural resources. Moreover, the house can be filled with a pleasant, woodsy smell. The assembled door panels are hand-carved with uneven finishes. These wood doors offer a touch of nature and rustic charm to the space when opening.

The original partition wall separating the living room from the kitchen was removed to create a transparent visual depth. The half-height bar serves as a barrier and also fulfills the dining function. Inspired by the Japanese style saobuchi tenjou, the kitchen cabinet quietly injects freshness and elegance of Japanese aesthetics into the space. Having the sink outside the shared bathroom not only allows a more spacious bathroom space but also improves functionality. The original inward door panel is pushed outward to neatly align the entire wall, making the view simpler and cleaner.
