My design is all about movement since I want the space for her is free enough for reading, living, etc... All elements of this dwelling is composed of a module 500*500mm concrete block. There is no restriction of floors, furniture, ceilings and so on which means everything can be a table, a stair, a bed, a seat so that people can do things at wherever they want in this space.
The lower part is buried underground for extreme and absolute privacy and a quiet environment. The entrance goes down to the lowest level of the lower part which make visitors feel ambiguous to go into. Openings are small but big enough for light to come to specific area so that the brightness of this space is sufficient and necessary. Furthermore, light comes through different ways, like skylight, windows and reflection from the mask wall.
Upper space, compared to the lower, is quite open. There are Large curtain walls which is enclosed by a mask wall with high-height openings on it, meanwhile, the thickness of walls are different. Therefore, It is open just for her and still guarantee her own privacy at the same time.
This design makes her can read almost everywhere and can sleep or think everywhere she likes. The movement and functions in this space are quite flexible that makes her feel free to move and makes the interior more interesting so that she will not feel lonely.
The way of movement is really inspired by Adolf Loos. My design actually does not have actual level as well. All design serve the functions-- reading, living, thinking, moving freely...
(All drawings are in the scale of 1:50)Inspirations
This is the south-east axonometric of Adolf Loos's villa muller, which is the precedent work I did in the project1. This drawing shows the circulation of this building which reflects the essence of his design--a sense of movement of the whole space.
The above two pictures are the way of openings that Le Corbusier did in his design of Ronchamp Church. All the openings are made for specific interior areas. My design is inspired by him as well.
Ando's the church of light: Slit window and reflection wall is inspired by his design to achieve enough and necessary light, not too strong.
This is Sou Fujimoto's final wooden house. When I saw this picture, I want my space to be as free as his that people can do whatever they want, like reading, playing computer games, sleeping, eating or thinking,etc, at wherever they like. Since the space can be as free as possible to move and stay. So I use 500*500mm module as a basic element. I found that it made me feel free to design since i can flexibly put these blocks where I need. I can put them two together as a table, or single as a seat, or more together as a stair, a platform, a bed... (http://www.trendsmen.com/architecture/2010-04/259826.shtml)
