The epidemic reaching the peak at the eve of the proposal, we change the discussion to video conference. I’m wondering how to make the house owner sitting in front of the screen understand the tiny changes of the perception. Thinking and thinking, I’d better to start doing. Therefore I directly rebuild the wall of the workroom near the window with the natural light and the other wall shined with artificial light. The conference takes place in the afternoon. While discussing the design, with the movies we watch and the words we read, usually we can perceive the beauty showed in the creative scenes bring about some changes with the merging of time and nature. During this period of time, the epidemic lengthens our time at home, thus we see the movie “Dune” and the book written by Dostoevsky “Sculpting in Time”. Therefore we can feel the time changes within the whole day more quietly.

The demand of the house owner is extremely interesting---“There should be two storage areas as soon as we enter the house.”

The house owner has all kinds of big and small suitcases and props when he leads a tour to travel around. These personal belongings take up quite obvious volume. He hopes to put the working items back in place as soon as he gets home. Considering the lights and the air existing in the space, we plan a storage area to meet the needs of the function and the other one is disassembled to be the dust area set in the middle of the entrance. We use several different building volume of scales, using function and reflective materials to redefine the space.
With the limited area, every corner will be used properly. We adopt precise and simple rules to deploy and plan along the slightly winding wall to extend the vision to frame the river view. In addition, we regard the aisles of the connected space as the public area as a whole to proceed our plans. The other needs of the subfield set in the both sides create the rhythm of the places, sculpture lines and time extension.

The main activity area locates in the core of the space. Clean groove suture enhances stereo feeling of the curves. The design of cave cladding makes our body feel stable and calm. Wandering between the light and the shadow, quietly perceiving time, we are reminded to keep the feeling of slight and simple things in our lives. Eventually the house is completed by the efforts of the people from all walks. The house owner and we have the passion of dreams and love toward creation. We work together and carry out the dream with the same goal, lighting up a light in our hearts, enriching carefree lives.
