In the search of a world of tactile sensation, here the connection between physical being and space is reinvented, allowing multi-faceted perception. For this space, particular attention is paid to the link between design and experience, in an attempt to integrate nature and artifacts in all frames of reference. From recollection and imagination, another form of modern architecture is inspired.
Space interplays with light and shade, artifacts strike chord with nature, various languages of space are formulated and intertwined; all elements in the living room area are shaped for one spirit, completing each other as a whole. Unnecessary design steps were eliminated for a focus on fine treatment of details, to minimize encumbrance and effectively heighten the texture of space. Let air be air, wall be wall, the design allows sufficient weight and the option of keeping discreet for every object.
The open approach to layout not only releases space, but also brings recreational and dining area together for coherent setting; earth tone and cold gray are used to create a concise and simple texture of modern life on the substrate; moreover, with sunlight pouring in divulging the natural grains and veins of the selected material, the warm and exquisite wood contrasting the cold and gritty stone, a unique spatial quality is generated.
Circulation route is used as the basis for layout design, and by integrating physics, cabinets and shelves, the bedrooms comprise many complex themes.
Invisible, the space acts as a vehicle for ongoing events and predefined relationship among people constantly involved, and all we do is to provide a more extensive and solid underpinning for such things. By interweaving and combining design and nature, more possibilities for space are created. Imagine, sitting languidly by a window after noon time, waiting for a beam of light after rain, or enjoying a cup of coffee, relishing a moment of tranquility away from hustle and bustle of city.
“What means by white is not color, but the sensation of white.” Kenya Hara the maestro once said. Achromatic white color is designed into the space, creating a balance between materials and space, which, in combination with meticulous formulation of circulation route and setting, manifests a philosophy of everlasting modernism that fills the space with a soothing ambiance by weaving concise and neat lines through borders for open access within and beyond, letting in elements of nature.
The core of the spatial experience is neither from visual impact of a wall, nor from individual, detached object, but from a polyhedral space combined by hexahedrons that bring multi-faceted sensory experience. The pursuit for multiplicity of spirit with simplicity of physics is out of reverence of nature, a statement of subtlety, and chimes with the teaching of “nothingness is something” in Zen, forging a metropolitan Zen space of everlasting modernity.
