About Awakening of Insects 주거 인테리어 디자인

경칩(Awakening of Insects)은 중국 선전에 설계된 개인 주택이다. 연면적 150제곱미터 규모로 두 개 층에 걸쳐 구성되었다. 전통 격자 창호에서 착안한 투광성 소재를 활용해 자연광이 실내 깊숙한 곳까지 스며들도록 했다. 후시공된 바닥 슬래브와 재구성된 계단은 천장 높이를 유지하면서도 보다 원활한 수직 동선을 뒷받침한다. 가구 치수, 계단 디테일, 장식 패턴은 모두 맞춤 제작되었다. 이 계획안은 동양의 공간 위계와 서양의 구조 원리를 결합하고 있다.

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.
