Inspired by the abstract painter Pierre Soulages, the design explores the changing relationship between black, line and light through Pierre Soulages' powerful and textured style of painting. The designer uses light as a design element, and through the reflection and interplay of colors and spatial textures, a sense of natural rhythm is derived from the space.



In this design, modern materials are brought into the space with classical lines. The designer combined light-penetrating materials to let the light show the various expressions of the space. The black-and-white mirrored corridor inspired by abstract painter Pierre Soulages, the designer creates the illusion of a time tunnel, allowing people to wander between classical and modern. The design concept of the corridor comes from Pierre Soulages' paintings, using black and white stripes and black mirrors to create a visual interlacing effect, like a time tunnel. Through the mirror effect, light and different materials blending with each other, enlarging the depth of field and bringing spaciousness. The design of the ceiling is different from the common symmetrical approach, and is illustrated by asymmetrical collage carvings, allowing the classical to be presented in a modern form.



The designer explores new forms between classical styles and modern metal materials. The designer combines the corrugated sheet of metal commonly used in Taiwanese building materials with the complex Corinthian Order, and takes a similar silvery-white color scheme to create a modern line of distinctive materials. The interior is designed with modern elements to interpret the classical style, bringing galvanized mesh panels into the space as screens and ceilings between staircases. The mesh panel has a penetrating characteristic to bring in light, so that the space can form natural ripples and dance with light and shadow. This design creates an artistic and stylish appearance through the use of contradictory elements.
