Unique Properties

The twisted mirror polished stainless steel vortex connects the north and south, solving the lighting, ventilation and scale problems in one single step. The vortex gradually shrinks in the lounge area and form the fishtail bar in the end, which not only realizes the function but also avoids direct sight from the entrance to the workplace.

Production Technology

The twisted mirror bridege is made by polished stainless steel. A series of structure studies optimized the construction logic of the stainless steel itself. The form of the ground-supported portion and the tension of its shape partially reduced the difficulty of construction.

Design Challenge

We use the tension of its shape to reduce the difficluty of fuction bu a serials of parametrization.

Research

A ground-floor flat in 90s residential neighborhood was transformed to a modern and contemporary office. Different from the traditional obstructive scenery, the material and curvature of the silvery vortex make it reflect the extraordinary dimensionality of the surrounding space, both modern and magic. The installation appears as a strategic arrangement to activate the entire indoor space. In this case, it is natural to connect the meeting room with kitchen and courtyard. If we compare the mirror polished stainless steel bridge to a magic belt, then the circular storage space may be the logic belt that integrate many practical functions.

Inspiration

The original flat had a linear layout with one dark little patio. Poor lighting and cramped space made it difficult to work as a design studio. Mirror bridge brings both lightness and vitality into the once dark and narrow flat, invoking a feeling of dream and fantasy. The twisted metal surface allows the light to be reflected multiple times indoors, increasing the illumination as well as creating a magic time-tunnel experience. The renovation made significant improvements in lighting, ventilation, and sight.
