Project Brief

Concept

contrepois%2001_edited.png

Thinking of intergenerational interactions, it is like a cycle that keeps each other in a harmonious balance like the different elements in Chinese Feng Shui. There are wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Each of these is expressed through the material used in this design proposal. It is also an exploration of how the materials can address varying personas in the house. Yet, there is still integration and interconnectivity within the house and even with the outdoor balcony. The space layout encourages interaction and mobility within the apartment instead of the usual claustrophobic setting that segregates each zoning with partitions and walls. Moreover, the open layout responds to the current lifestyle that necessitates multifunctional space.

The communal space, including the family study area, dining, living, and kitchen, is interconnected visually, creating a sense of accessibility. When it comes to an individual's room, it is personalized in response to the design brief.
