Italians always consider the kitchen as the core of the house, one of grandma’s stews can gather the whole family together. Finnish are huge fans of wooden furniture, one handcrafted baby’s cot inside the garage means so much paternal love. Home is the fortress of our life, the most important place for holding the family together, the connection in between every member of the family is neither marble nor veneer, but every livable living scene and the daily fragments of our deep memory for which we can often remember.
We never use “ideal home” as a scheme for our mock-up house design, it's a kind of impossible to realize, because “ideal” can be really different for different people, and always depends by some personal emotions and memories. So during the design process, the house was just supposed to be “a friend’s home” by us, and then it just became alive after that , we think we have to find a space for him to drink alone, and also there should be a tree inside the courtyard for his son, etc.
For an alive residence, it is more than a container which is divided by living room, bedroom, bathroom, there should be sincere feelings and colors inside, bustling, or leisurely, or introspective, or take the time elements morning, noon, sunset as a reference for space design.
We just set several possibilities of daily life arbitrarily inside the house hereby, it has to be left for the family to take decades of their life to fill in for their ideal home from the other side.
