Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The house is divided into one level above ground and two levels underground. There is a sunken courtyard with an indoor area of about 300 square meters.I began to imagine a space with nothing. This space should be the ultimate, abandon all decorative content, and start from the perspective of architectural space organization. Subtracting in this space is an awkward way to add one item, but it is not a good way to subtract one item.
- Inspiration
- The creation of a sense of space is the starting point I pursue for the design of private space. Private space is private, and its attributes and tonality should match "private". It reflects the "private" quality and lifestyle. I hope it is growth and cognition. The project of C House was born under this logic.
- Research
- I arranged the hostess’s studio and the male host’s tea room, as well as a reserved guest room. In the studio, we designed a full-top bookshelf with a ladder and a full-top wine cabinet. We also specially designed some furniture, such as a side cabinet with vinyl and a cabinet for paintings that can be used as a workbench. Imagine an artist tasting wine and listening to vinyl sitting on a sofa and chatting with three or two friends about art topics. This may be a space for artists to communicate and create.
- Challenge
- Because the lifting frame of the space is much higher than that of ordinary houses, and the beams of the floor slabs have clearly entered my vision. It is so vivid. The relationship between it and the pillars is like this couple. They are independent of each other. Vertically and horizontally, they cooperate with each other, hand in one point, you let me and I frame your space to produce.
- Realization and Technology
- Finally, when I sketched the design plan, I simply outlined a touch of gold on the sketch, and finally formed the design plan of the golden western kitchen in the first floor space to increase the pleasure and artistic sense of the space. After calculating the half arch, respect the characteristics of the material itself in the spatial relationship, and do some tendencies and low purity controls on the color to fully reflect the maximum possibility of the material in color. A dual relationship between high purity and bottom purity is formed, but the natural texture of the material is retained to achieve unity.
- Operation and Interaction
- At the beginning of 2019, an artist friend of mine approached me and said that he had bought a house. The husband and wife wanted me to help design, so I did not hesitate to accept it. I still know the male host very well. He is a watercolor painter. We usually drink tea and chat together.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project was launched in Anshan City, Liaoning Province in early 2020 and will be completed by the end of 2020.
- Specifications
- The house is divided into one level above ground and two levels underground. There is a sunken courtyard with an indoor area of about 300 square meters.
