RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Work has gradually become the center of life of urban people, so can work and life be perfectly integrated? We hope to find a home space suitable for people living alone in the city, so that people can live and work together, reduce the frequency of overtime, increase the length of home stay, and improve the quality of life.
CHALLENGE: The metal that appears as a line in the space has encountered a great test in the construction. It is not easy to make the metal thin enough with the existing construction ability and need to bear enough strength without deforming, and the handling of the junction between the metals is also a difficult point. However, our obsession with slender and straight metal and the requirement for concealed edges at the junction make the on-site construction extremely difficult.
