In the busy city jungle, create a secret area leading to the interweaving of reality and dreams through the designer's modern and natural design methods. In the secret area, people walk along the winding path which seems to be lighted by the moonlight.Through the virtual and real design of the mirror, people really feel like they were in a dream, entering a space where they can completely release the pressure, talk and drink freely. At different turning points, the texture of natural stone, the deep color, and the smooth and flawless mirror give the overall space different levels.
Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- This is a guest house in a commercial office building with a rectangular space with only one exit and light.
The independence and wrapping of the space require special consideration due to the requirement to consider sound insulation and the use of the majority of people.
The focus of this project is on how to make effective use of artificial light to increase the richness of the environment and produce the maximum number of users in a single light and limited space. - Dimensions & Packaging
- The apartment is 198 square meters.

- Production Technology
- In addition to the curved construction of the space partition, we use a double wall construction method to improve sound insulation and maximize space. Also, to solve the problem of buffering audio reflection, natural stone texture foam board is used.
In addition to the buffering effect, the uneven roughness of the surface can cause audio reflection to be disrupted, reducing the problem of echo in confined spaces. Furthermore, natural stone foam panels can help to alleviate the issue of over-exploitation of natural stone. - Design Challenge
- The goal is to accommodate as many people as possible in a space with a variety of functions while minimizing sound interference from audio-visual entertainment equipment.
- Project Duration
- The project finished on the 15th of November 2021, locates in Taichung City.
- Operation Flow
- We build the space in the shape of a curved wall so that the space can be covered in multiple layers to add richness and interest.
The curving traffic space not only directs people to their goal, but it also diffuses light.
In the more constricted aisle region, we also employ mirrors to increase the sensation of visual expansiveness and to extend the light transmission function into the less illuminated parts. - Research
- We gathered the acoustics literature and research on the effects of various materials on sound transmission, as well as the use of an asymmetric wall shape to solve the echo problem caused by sound.
To absorb and lessen the sound created by the audio-visual entertainment area, we also employ flexible foam wall material and a double wall approach. - Inspiration
- Night marks the transition from dream to reality. Walking inside the dream-like setting in the dim moonlight adds to the poetic feel of the place.
People appear to enter another directional place as a result of the smooth traffic, and they can feel a sense of serenity and stability as a result of the cascading wrapping.
Without the influence of others, enjoy the interchange of little drinks, like the ancient Chinese did. - Image Credits
