Behind the Design

Press Kit

Unique Properties: In the repeated deliberation of space, designers do not stick to the original closed state of space, and from the perspective of "human", improve the intimacy of human to nature, to find the living state of seclusion. The light box carries the deposition of time, and the blank space makes "people in the box" more likely. By retaining the emotion between people, they establish a new interwoven relationship, and integrate the power of nature to evolve the "box of light".
Dimensions & Packaging: The house type of this case is a typical townhouse with three-story frame structure. It is a rectangular space with a length of 15.5 meters, a width of 7.8 meters and an overall area of 400 square meters. Several changes in the design of "light box" are worth sharing. The kitchen on the first floor and the patio of the teahouse are part of the original garden, with an area of about 30 square meters.

Production Technology: Although some construction techniques are simplified as far as possible in this case, the simplification does not mean rough. For example, the joint between solid wood veneers is required to be controlled at 1mm, so it needs careful treatment by workers. As for the closing of stone and wood, it is also necessary to leave a certain gap between the wood to ensure long-term use.
Design Challenge: In the early stage of the contact project, the design team is also looking for an opportunity, that is, how to break through and establish the relationship between human and nature, understand the different needs of customers and give deeper thinking. In order to break the usual thinking, they always let designers think in detail that "design comes from life" while considering functionality.
Research: For a long time, the original intention of design is mostly based on the different feelings and trust of customers, but the only constant is to create a way of getting along with nature, people and light, pay more attention to the relationship between people and space, simplify complexity and build a happy life scene. Therefore, the design of this case is based on the deep understanding of customers, the on-site experience and long-term thinking of life.
Inspiration: In the design process, designers often read about Louis Barragan's ideas, so the case runs through several themes that Barragan loved throughout his life, such as religious piety, light, body, and horse. Barragan said: "Tranquility is the real great medicine to relieve pain and fear, whether it is luxurious or simple, the architect's duty is to make tranquility a regular guest in the family." In the Light Box, returning to peace and inner precipitation may be a new start.
Project Duration: The project started in April 2018 in Chengdu and finished in November 2019 in Chengdu.
Operation Flow: This case does not make complicated decoration forms, but subtraction, maximizes human behavior and actions, deals with the relationship between people through returning to the essence of "home", and makes them symbiotic, independent, clustered and scattered.
