“Hidden” is the theme of the design as the insufficient lighting was turned into a demonstration of spatial aesthetics.
The lack of base lighting is the focus of the design, and creates a space for meditation and restoring inner peace to seek family memories and emotional development through daily life.
Lines outline the interior structure and focus on creating light: the light tubes shine through the gaps and make the entrance welcoming with light. Grazing light reflects off the sandstone wall to help people move between locations. The living and dining rooms are shaped using a contrast of light and dark colors, and the visual changes generate movement patterns to increase the sense of psychological stability.
Light and shadow are the colors of the interior, and the fluid shape increases the amount of shadowing for the entrance. A small amount of light between the two-way flow creates a subtle notion of security; the living room’s discontinuous window surface and arced stone wall, natural and artificial lighting come together to create multiple layers of indirect aesthetics to convey modesty. The arcs can also be found in the private area as the groove lighting looks like light shining through clouds, the visual impression of sunrise and sunset along with the bedroom’s functions create a balance between the body and mind.
After surveying the base, it was found that the internal lighting originates from dispersed sunlight. The designer believes the concealed nature of the space can be expanded using certain items, and thus meet the needs of privacy and interactivity. The hollow and curved surface tones down the amount of light and enhances the presence of the shadows. The contrasting and calm environment eases psychological fluctuations, and the instinct of people being attracted towards light creates a purifying effect. The entrance is divided using sculpted art to create a two-way flow for spatial depth and create boundaries between areas.
