About Awakening of Insects Wohnraumgestaltung im Innenbereich
Awakening of Insects ist eine private Wohnresidenz, die in Shenzhen, China, gestaltet wurde. Das Haus verfügt über eine Bruttogeschossfläche von 150 Quadratmetern und ist auf zwei Ebenen angeordnet. Lichtdurchlässige Materialien, inspiriert von traditionellen Gitterwerken, lassen natürliches Licht bis tief in den Innenraum vordringen. Eine nachträglich installierte Bodenplatte sowie eine neu konzipierte Treppe ermöglichen eine geschmeidigere vertikale Erschließung, während die Deckenhöhe erhalten bleibt. Möbelabmessungen, Treppendetails und dekorative Muster sind eigens angefertigt. Das Konzept verbindet östliche Raumhierarchie mit westlichen Strukturprinzipien.

- Production Technology
- This project incorporates specially customized elements across material selection, dimensional specifications, and stylistic treatments to ensure optimal adaptation to the spatial requirements. Key components such as the configuration of staircases, dimensions of furniture, and patterns and proportions of decorative artwork are meticulously tailored to harmonize with the architectural environment.
- Design Challenge
- This project involves the construction of a post-installed floor slab, where determining the compatibility between structural configuration, elevation positioning, functional requirements, and spatial perception presents a significant challenge. During the slab construction process, it is critical to maximize spatial ceiling height while integrating lighting systems, water supply pipes, and sewage drainage pipelines. These installations must be meticulously planned during the structural renovation phase. Additionally, comprehensive coordination of detailed specifications—including slab formwork design, material selection, and utility routing—must be finalized during preliminary planning stages to ensure seamless execution and optimal spatial performance.
- Research
- This project aims to explore the integration of design languages across diverse cultural contexts and historical eras within the Chinese context. While there is a growing preference among young Chinese for retro aesthetics, particularly French-inspired styles, our design philosophy prioritizes a contemporary exploration rooted in China's current cultural landscape. By seamlessly integrating modern design principles with traditional Chinese cultural elements and drawing on the strengths of Western influences, we seek to develop a cohesive design language that resonates with China's unique sociocultural identity and spatial narratives.
- Inspiration
- This project draws inspiration from the interplay between cultural heritage and technological innovation. Motivated by the need to revitalize traditional craftsmanship in contemporary contexts, the design reinterprets regional spatial paradigms through modern structural logic. The spatial narrative emerges from reconciling dualities: light permeability informed by vernacular latticework, fluid circulation reimagining ceremonial pathways, and material dialogues bridging artisan techniques with parametric precision. By synthesizing Eastern spatial hierarchy with Western tectonic principles, the scheme transforms functional constraints into poetic spatial experiences, proposing cross-cultural sustainability for urban dwellings.
- Project Duration
- The project commenced in Shenzhen, China in August 2023 and concluded in November 2024.
