Love the mountains and the sea, and they never fail to impress me. Their beauty and majesty are awe-inspiring. The world's romance is reflected in the cycle of night and day, and the leisurely moments spent gazing at the mountains and the sea, which make us lose track of time, as if we were in a different era. The project is situated at a picturesque corner of Xiamen Foxtail Mountain Park, where the mountains meet the sea. Here, the hustle and bustle of the city seems to fade away, and the breathtaking window view frames a painting-like scenery of mountains and rivers. It offers a tranquil and serene environment where you can bask in the raw beauty of nature and soothe your soul that craves freedom.

This project involves the demolition and reconstruction of an old, second-hand house, which essentially amounts to a complete structural overhaul. Through this process, we are able to re-examine the transformative effect that space can have on people's well-being.
By removing the cumbersome façade structure and opening up the view, natural light and scenic views can permeate the cold architectural texture and flow into every corner of the interior. This establishes a stronger connection between the occupants and the natural world, imbuing the space with a dynamic sense of vitality.

Beautiful scenery produces conception: Starting with the breathtaking mountain scenery outside the window, the main theme of the space is seamlessly extended. The dense forest sways in the wind, while the sparkling waves reflect the radiance of the sun. By adopting a minimalist approach to the interior design, the stunning natural beauty beyond the window is enhanced. The comprehension of spatial design goes beyond the superficial appearance that can be effortlessly perceived by the eyes and instead centers on the interpretation of the uppermost level of the structure. 
The use of geometric lines creates a visually dynamic transmission, while the incorporation of mirrors enhances the perception of height, expanding the space beyond the two-dimensional plane and exploring the sensation of interlocking sight lines stretching vertically.

Movement and stillness are constant: In terms of the structure, the aim is to achieve a sense of scattered meanings gathered, in accordance with the state of constant separation. This allows family members to experience interaction within the family relationship while utilizing both independent private areas and shared spaces in their daily lives. The winding path of the floor guides the way, tracing the interweaving sight lines. The natural imagery is intricately woven into every aspect of the space, with even the smallest details incorporating elements of nature. The texture of the travertine, which resembles sand and soil, forms a beautiful backdrop that, combined with the elegant wooden flooring, creates a stunning visual and tactile experience.

Introduction of Nature: Instead of simply gazing out the window, we aimed to capture the essence of the natural world that surrounds us in our daily lives within the interior of our space. Our team broke down the imagery of the mountains and the sea into symbolic interpretations. Inspiration was drawn from the way mountains erode, transforming into veins that run through the space.  We sought to break and re-link the inherent relationship between the interior and exterior, creating a new and innovative combination within the space. The space is illuminated by the refraction of the material, which creates a diffused light that plays with the interplay of light and shadow. This duality of brightness and shade produces a pleasing and elongated posture. Just as the world experiences the alternation of light and darkness, prosperity and decay, the captivating essence of life is repeatedly staged.

The design approach does not attempt to manipulate the space like a display case, but instead aims to showcase the natural and comfortable feel of a home with an unfolding style. Beginning with the ambiance of the space, the design subtly imbues it with the ability to endure through time and become a heartwarming accompaniment to daily life.We may not have control over how the world unfolds, but at least we can choose the home we prefer. 

Living in the mountains or by the sea goes beyond the mere physical environment; it involves redefining and reshaping our living spaces. By incorporating the theme of mountains and sea into the architectural design, we can explore the relationship between nature and living in a more profound way. The undulating structure reflects the beauty and harmony of natural surroundings.
