About White Box 服裝店

White Box係一間位於溫州瑞安嘅服裝店室內空間，佔地約35平方米。店舖正門較細，傳統嘅陳列櫥窗被一條橫向長窗取代，窗下係一幅寬闊嘅白色牆面。整個簡潔嘅盒狀結構通體採用白色，並設置光束照明去突顯白色水磨石地面。設計加建咗一個小閣樓，用嚟增加可用面積並保持平面佈局井然有序。橡木樓梯、地腳燈同燈帶將兩層空間連繫起來。

Unique Properties: In this case, the store takes an area of only 35 square meters. The front door is small, and the traditional display window is replaced by a horizontally long window with much white at the bottom. In this simple box-liked structure, white is massively used and the light beams are well designed to make the white-colored terrazzo floor more elegant. We built a mini loft to meet its functional purpose. The oak stairs, the footlights and the light stripes are another ingenious designs to connect the space.
Dimensions & Packaging: The project takes an area of 32 square meters. The inner structure has a width of 5300mm and depth of 5250mm and height of 4550mm, which takes an area of 28 square meters. There is an extended area with a width of 5400mm and depth of 690mm, which makes an area of 3.7 square meters.

Production Technology: White is such a permissive color that we make the best of white by using it massively in this room. Light is appropriately used to make the beam of light play a specific guiding role in dealing with the aerial perspective relationship of vertical and horizontal space. The floor is covered with white-colored terrazzo, which makes this clean room even more elegant. The stone would feels like warm and softened under the gentle light.
Design Challenge: The hardest part of this design is the room takes an area of only 35 square meters. It's quite difficult to meet the balance of function and visual appearence.
Research: A classic space will never exist without the presence of a human being. The interaction between space and human being always enlivens and warms up the space, making it a full-of-story space, while the designer is just out there to get the story ready to tell. The designer needs to take a prior consideration on the relationship between construction and space to make the space more interesting and memorable and with more speciality.
Inspiration: The space and time are infinitive, the space lives only in the current time. A classic space will never exist without the presence of a human being. The interaction between space and human being always enlivens and warms up the space, making it a full-of-story space, while the designer is just out there to get the story ready to tell.
Project Duration: Located in Rui'an, Wenzhou, the project was designed in April 2019 and finished in May 2019.
Operation Flow: The front door is small, and the traditional display window is replaced by a horizontally long window with much white at the bottom to attract the passerbys. We built a mini loft in this room, because we believe another mini space in a small room will extend the room itself and make it well-organized. Furthermore, the room will also be fully used in functional purpose.
