PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The four-floor villa is decorated with wood and copper materials. The two textures combine to present a sense of high-class simplicity. The public area floors are paved with grey matte marbles, looking hard and clear. The private space adopts wooden floors, feeling warm and comfortable. The two different floor materials create diverse space atmospheres.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The house keeps a space window to bring in light. To reduce light pollution from direct light exposure, the designers adopt diamond-shaped glass with fluctuated water surface effect in the space window, which changes color and enhance light to serve as an ornament with illumination function. It brings in daylight when the sun shines in the day, presenting a sparkling effect in space. At night it glows on its own, saving energy in an environment friendly way, in a new form of art.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Based on the original building structure, the designer transforms this mundane space into one that pushes the boundaries of architecture and design.The curved opening design interprets Wabi sabi, or the beauty of incompleteness, in the Japanese culture. It separates as well as connects the second and third floors, to increase space utilization. The tall French window brings the outdoor scenery into the rooms.
CHALLENGE: The original space is loosely structured, with poor connection among various function areas. The designers separate the functional areas with a semi open pattern, while make them coherent as a whole. For example, they create a delicate scene with a blue table with copper line sketching the contours of dimension stone, as well as a screen with copper and freehand silk, to enhance the privacy of the interior space. The ornamental green plants behind the screen serve as a visual focus in the space.
