| DESIGN NAME: Spirit of Stillness PRIMARY FUNCTION: Apartment INSPIRATION: The inspiration for this project came from Eastern philosophy, particularly the equanimity expressed in Su Shi's "Ding Feng Bo." The design aims to encapsulate a contemplative worldview by seamlessly integrating artistry with function. Traditional elements are merged with modern aesthetics, creating a dialogue between the past and present, realized through meticulous research and planning. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This interior design merges Eastern philosophy with modern sensibility to create a sanctuary of calm in an urban environment. Unlike other designs, it adheres to a tripartite philosophy called SPIRIT, which equally values work, recreation, and rest. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The design offers an intuitive user experience, effectively balancing form and function. Maximized natural light reduces the need for artificial illumination. Air-purifying green plants ensure a consistent flow of fresh air, thus improving the functionality of the space. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: This project commenced its design phase in March 2023 and concluded in August 2023. It is situated in Taipei City, Taiwan.

SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The design covers an area of 120 square meters and includes a specially crafted art wall that can support a 30 kilogram Bodhisattva sculpture. Energy efficient LED lighting systems are deployed along with thermal insulating materials to enhance ventilation.
