Exploring the island of the soul in the return trip
If there is nothing on an empty table - it is precisely because it is empty that there is an infinite possibility of filling it, a state of wealth and freedom.
"We are not isolated from the world, we live in ideas ,conversations and in the center of the world.In another land,there is no clear distinction between most people and us, we just see the world in different eye. Our task is to build an island in the world, to launch another possibility of existence." -- Herman Hesse
In contemporary society, people should care about not only efficiency and decency, but also retain the transient "quietness". We did not decorate the top surface of the entrance, but kept the non-mechanical and natural texture of the reinforced concrete of the original building. The cement gray tone can give people a sense of depression; a proper sense of depression will give people a sense of isolation and silence.
This project is a post-90s dinky couple who want to create a place for the mind to transition from the hustle and bustle of the city in the space of 200㎡. A space that only belongs to the couple , a spiritual residence where they can control their own lives and establish an order to combat external pressure. Escape the hustle and bustle of the city, the complexity of relationships, the stress of the job, and enjoy the quiet of home. Home is not only a harbor, but also a place to escape from society, to indulge yourself, to open yourself, to embrace yourself.
We wanted to create a flowing, coherent, not separated space. We wanted to give the homeowner a sense of freedom to move easily from one space to another, to dissolve the traditional sense of closure of a private house, to blur the definition between different spaces, and to make the transition natural. We do not regard space as a negative static existence, but as a flowing force.
