Bungalow

Bungalow is a common residential structure for middle class Americans with clean lines, modest space, and simple space. The main goal of this project was to provide a new bungalow style which cooperate with deeper design consideration. Since this project is about to re-design dining room including the characteristic of bungalow and decorate the dining room based on sensory properties of building materials in the dining room of a bungalow. The concept of this dining room is "dialogue" which people use as a well-known tool to interact, communicate, and make a relationship each other. This project was about to provide a sense of communication between a space and people. As re-designing this dining room, I wanted to express a sense of "dialogue" along with human-environmental relationship and the given square shape space. The dining table is the main design feature which shows "dialogue" between the room itself and the purpose of the dining room. As well as, the dining table, which shows off the new way of storage, usage of space, and maximize the basic use of dining room, is embracing a sideboard and a hutch within the structure to show the new 21st century bungalow style. From the perspective of sustainability, various materials did not be used in this space. Moreover, along the new style of design will be able to offer a new way of using the space.


With deeper design consideration, I introduced a DIALOGUE between past and present through a single, fluid moment – opening the opportunity for conversation among people gathered at table. By centralizing all the functional of the program elements – a table, seating, a sideboard, a hutch – into a single design gesture, I suggest a new bungalow style as appropriate for this century, as the original style to the nineteenth century. By changing the perception and use of the space through contrasting materials, a neutral color scheme, and the unity of foam, I offer a different means to use and understand the space. Bringing the universal to bear in this site specific design, past and present harmonize through contrast.
