Design Challenge: Water in the house will influence air and light reflection.
Research: The ancients said round sky to describe the characteristics of time. At the same time, when the ancients spoke directions, they were described in all directions, also called places.
A round place means time and space, that is, the universe! That is to say the true face of the universe.
Inspiration: Rhythm of Water is mainly to reflect the unique of its owner and the interaction between space and the natural element- water. Living space not only provide the sense of security but also provide a place for people to communicate; in addition, it’s a tunnel for human to communicate with the nature. The heading, reflected flower and illuminated moon perfectly sums it up.
First of all, the concept comes from the origin of water, which can be traced back to embryonic phase of land-forming period when lands are surrounded by sea water. The decoration of exterior L shaped tunnel formed from balcony to the west of interior with black stone padded within and black waterproof adhesive brushed give a mysterious feeling. Besides, the usage of black mirror can leave a extension feeling for the space without drawbacks of mirror. All these black water concept comes from our ancient book, Book of Changes. When the water flows to the land(interior), it becomes a rounded pond(lake); therefore, we build a squared fountain derived from our Chinese concept : rounded sky and squared land. The bubble and water forming cloud become the acrylic nearby swing chair also the idea of rounded plate ladder. And the red frame aims to symbolic as a door to heaven with it’s mainly function as a banister. Since the owner doesn’t plan on having children, the design can be perfectly safe.
Secondarily, using extended bar as the image of range to divide living room and kitchen and creates a window chair and a side table beside sofa for whether sitting, leaning or lying. The combination of bar-chair and the TV cabinet creates an uneven mountain sight scenery, also to reach the most capacious usage. In addition, the bedroom in the back of the house is heightened for hummocky intention. Not only does this design produce layers within the space but also exclude from public area. The circle pendant in the bedroom scatters a image of moon at night.
Further more, as we climb from cloudy ladder and go through the heaven door; we can enjoy the different view of the house as we turn and enter to the penthouse which is the wonderland combining the usage of working, enjoyment, reading, relaxing and communicating. Without doubt, we will find cloudy extended ceiling and the glass plate hung asides( hanging candle stands). The owner can enjoy the sun light and the nature cast into the house through three vitreous French windows while reading or bathing after work. The sky coffee seats upstairs is the most cozy place for either the owner to chat with friends or for kitten to take a relaxing nap.
Finally, step out through the vitreous door, you are welcomed to a place where you can dine, relax and listening to the melody from the sound of lotus pond; enjoying the tranquility outside the city jungle. Or you can simply tub under the warming outdoor heater in winter. There’s no point to go out when you have a home like this.
