In this design style, the element of ‘personality’ is put on top. Therefore, despite exposing all the true beauty of the material and the components that make up the space, this style does not have a fixed pattern for the way it is done. It all depends on the available characteristics of each specific project, the owner’s personality and the creativity of the designer
Also from the spirit of the factory – which requires high convenience and speed in maintenance and repair – all technical systems (electricity, water, …) are almost ‘exposed’. Along with the technical duct system, the beam structure, the beam becomes the highlight for the ceiling. Industrial lighting is prioritized with key materials such as ceiling brick walls, cement floors, raw wood or reusable wood, metal, and ceiling concrete.
Dark tones, masculine and ‘unique’ look become the distinguishing feature of industrial-style interior spaces. Old wood, black painted metal, clear light and dark effects between areas in the building and strong cubes are often applied thoroughly.
A powerful but no less romantic home of Industrial Style will have a lot of attraction for young owners who like to be different. Adding a favorable factor, the work of decorating these spaces is often not too challenging because the ‘suitable area’ of the Industrial Style is quite large. Modern rustic decorations, or antiques, to furniture with trendy designs, depending on the inspiration of the owner and the advice of the designer.
However, to ensure a true industrial style, things seem more complicated than the simple appearance of this space.
The first is about the construction of the rough part. The raw brick walls and bare concrete always cause eye-catching effects. However, in addition to the problem of having to handle to reduce dust accumulation later, these walls and ceilings also require much more care. Because the details will ‘show’ out, all the deviated and warped parts of the brick when building the wall will be clear and cannot be changed. Ceiling concrete is a unique material, but to get perfect surfaces requires high technology. Not only in the skill of the construction worker, the formwork system must have good quality, it is necessary to meticulously calculate the condenser circuit when constructing and the quality of the concrete must be standard.
In addition, as the finishing stage, the organization of electricity – water pipe systems in the ceiling is also a conundrum. It is necessary to combine and separate so that it is reasonable and convenient in terms of function, while paying attention to the size, scale and aesthetics in the shaping of this system. Everyone knows that ‘bad cover, good show’, so, if you are not careful, the ‘view’ of the homeowner every time he looks up at the ceiling will have nothing but a messy and absurd life!
Of course, it is not possible to require every homeowner to have a good grasp of construction techniques. But the simple insights needed will help visualize the space better, as well as ‘understand’ between the stakeholders more easily. From there, a personality and ‘quality’ nest with an industrial style will be as desired.
