Unique Properties: The design of this project focuses on rationalising the space, arranging the layout of functions to enable efficient traffic flow, as well as applying aesthetic theory into practicality. FengHuang, an immortal bird in Chinese mythology, represents balance and harmony in the universe. The orderly arranged wall shapes are like a breeze combing through flowing tail feathers of FengHuang, which accentuates the dimensions of space. Light strip embedded within the curves imitates a dancing phoenix.
Dimensions & Packaging: 501㎡
Tags: A.Phoenix；B.smart space; C.shell terrazzo; D.red brick
Production Technology: The use of natural-shell terrazzo and common red bricks reduced the material cost (367 €/㎡). At the same time, the adsorption of red bricks can well adjust to indoor humidity, which is suitable for the dry climate in northwest China, where Xi’an is located. The two side tables, one made of a saw blade and the other made of off-cut wood decorated with oil paint, are the unique decorations in this project.
Design Challenge: The single-floor area of this project is 93 ㎡, which is a relatively small space. The use of tender curves and linear lights creates an elegant and dynamic feeling in this cramped and rigid space, thus offsetting the discomfort caused by the tight area, making the living environment more comfortable.
Research: The amount of wasted shells produced in China reaches ten million tons every year. Increased developments in reusing discarded shells will assist in the urgent drive to avoid marine pollution. The application of natural shell terrazzo in this project has a positive role in promoting this, it also adds value to wasted shells recycling.
Inspiration: The design of the living room is inspired by phoenix tail feathers, which are as elegant as flowing ribbons. The dense lines combined with the wall shape are like the breeze combing feathers, stacking up the layering of the space. The extremely narrow lines are embedded in the light strips, like a dancing phoenix, inhabiting at the home.
Project Duration: The project started in June 2021 in Xi'an and completed in June 2023.
