RESEARCH ABSTRACT: This project adopts the concept of Axis and Lines in order to reinforce its longitudinal space. Regarding the operation of the concept of Lines, it interconnects between home life and spatial details. It starts from the screen at the entrance and extends along the structure lines of the walkway to the structure lines of the visual wall in the master room where it locates in the end of the walkway.
CHALLENGE: In this project, there is an inevitable long linear circulation in this slender-shaped apartment. That being said, with the concept of Axis and Lines, spaces are designed to interact with the family's activities. Dark wood flooring links up all spaces as well as divides servant and served spaces.
