The lifestyle we can understand is based on the environment and base conditions. All dreams and memories are truthfully presented in the life scenes. Seek inward/outward. The architectural lexicons deal with the different relations. Instead of the simple construction, it is a process of exploration to achieve the balance. On the way of exploration, we hope to create the different space themes. Through practices and natural techniques, we create a livelier space experience process. The spaces of the two individual underground floors are connected through the circular ramp. Light is vertically introduced to the courtyard. The underground space warmly presents the material texture with the visual and tactile feelings. Enjoy the changes of melodies and rhythms in the quietness. The multi-layered lights sketch the space lines, fading in and out with the movements. Walk down along the ramp and enjoy the feeling of being in a cave, from the square ground floor to the oval stairs underground and from the strong lines to the mild organic forms connecting the recessed style of the side wall. The retreated courtyard wall on the first underground floor creates the transition space of the balcony. The sports bar and bicycle exhibition space on the second underground floor use the arc bar counter as the visual connection. The space dimensions circle and spread. The changes of materials respond to the light. It’s a relay point for an explorative journey. Slow down pace and feel the mildness of the space. The large-area cabinet style connects the different areas. Several rhythms and melodies guide the visual direction. The fireplace at the cabinet end forming a crossing axis increases the warm atmosphere. The new Chinese style and modern lines connect the ceiling style of the first floor. The modern minimalist lines are used to interpret the contour of the traditional Chinese mountain-shaped roof and reinforce the visual extension of the space. The height difference between the two bar counters becomes the interaction center of the field. The inlayed dining table and island connect life closely. The geometric patterns are applied for the contour and lines of the kitchen slide door to increase the different style lexicons and extend the exploration of the space traces. The open showcases with the standings boards of the different thicknesses are arranged on the corridor. The concrete and abstract shelves increase the tension and visual exploration. The long corridor is therefore equipped with more visual hierarchy instead of a transition space for just passing by. The large-area light-color leather supports the natural patterns of the leather on the wood-grid headboard. The style lines soften the space. As sunlight is cast down from the large windows, sit freely and enjoy the carefree lifestyle.
