- We use segmentation methods to create different visual perceptions of the stones, referring to the designated space functions. Integration of wood material in the study room represents a peaceful walk in the forest; the facade of the public space with marbles depicted being surrounded by mountains. Wood veneer, fluoric acid glass, iron pieces, and marble, also utilized throughout the entire space, which sustained the integrity of the design theme and ensure San-sui integration into the design.
- Design Challenge
- To materialize the abstract scenes from ancient Chinese arts by using modern design, the selection and usage of stone material become the main challenge. We have created a light and warm space for the project while incorporating a large area of stone in the design to present a coordinated and strong visual sense. Further in the design, the selections of different types of wood panels also enriched the expressions of the space and added a sense of softness and temperateness echoing to characteristics of the owner.
