Under no restriction of imagination, this piece was actually the most self-restraint design of us. We use three words to describe this space, order, warmness, and conflict. Different function was arranged from the public to private, expanding from the exhibition room at the entrance. Working space was defined by a series of continuous pyramidal roofs. The floor and wall were like hands, warmly holding us together. The roof was like a hat, being in the middle of the space, protecting us in a sense of tenderness. The crossing wire and perpendicular light tube manifested the invisible structure, which defined the space again, presenting the most suitable scale for working inside. Nature was invited into every corner of the space, gently and silently. What we expect to present is not just the final outcome, but also the process and all the imperfect reality. The exhibition room was frozen in the time of refurbishment. The traces of renovation left the wall as a natural background. Among the rooms, the courtyard is the smallest but wildest one. We left a piece of land, filling it with an olive tree, clematis, and ivy. Hopefully, the ivy will cover the whole wall by next summer. As there is another building in front of the courtyard, there is no holy skylight pouring from the round hole. However, it is like a palette, reflecting the brightness and darkness, coldness and warmness of the light, with the rhythm of change of day and night.
