Creating space is establishing order. What order should be given? Le Corbusier said, function and object. Function is the fundamental architecture, expressing the design motivation. Objects are a symbol of sensibility, existing as soft tissues that can breathe and bring people close. In the existing site, considering the exterior Windows, beams, column positions, and HVAC equipment, rationally arranging their functions, and then connecting them through circulation lines, is an effective prerequisite for establishing spatial order. The underlying logic is not merely about creating a space, but rather about considering that when one is within it, they can better perceive the space and stimulate the five senses. Therefore, the overall coordination beyond the surface often reflects order, symmetry and determination based on disorder.

The axis is the art of symmetry and also the beginning of building balance. The project is a studio of a construction team. Different from the conventional way of presenting products and services, we take people's experience and feelings as the design entry point, shorten the distance with the client, and launch a new narrative of floor plan layout. Passing through the foyer and turning into the interior, the view suddenly broadens. The colors change from dark to light, and the ups and downs of emotions shape the layers of spatial perception and experience. The size of the exterior window on the north side of the dining area is adjusted to create a connection between the inside and outside. The light shines on the gauze curtain, evenly diffusing it.

White is not merely a color; in design vocabulary, it usually plays a role in revealing the structure of buildings. The public area is dominated by a large area of white, which causes the light to diffuse and precisely Outlines the contours, bringing a sense of tranquility, purity and elegance. On one side of the bar counter, a dark U-shaped wooden work forms a enveloping end view. A blue painting is hung in the center, where the sea and the sky transition peacefully. Although the image is silent and still, it actually shows undercurrents surging, carrying profound implications.

Looking at the overall layout, the dining area on the west side and the living room area on the east side are important open Spaces. The positioning of core functions determines the proportion of areas and the control of scale. The passage between the two implies the difference of the field through bulk grey travertine and natural wood. The contrast in depth of materials, the rhythm of width and narrowness during the movement, and the flexible proportion relationship not only enrich the visual space but also stimulate the visitors' desire to explore.

The two sections of grey stone walls in the central corridor area have their own purpose. The hard facades restrict what seems to be the "only" path. The east-west axis that is invisible to the naked eye passes through here, with one side facing the opening of the internal office area, avoiding direct contact with the corridor and public sanitation. One side faces the bathroom. At the bottom of the stone frame, there is a mirror that reflects light, the spatial scene and the line of sight, unintentionally creating an illusion of infinity.

Compared with a single route, we prefer flexible and diverse paths. As an office space, how can one quickly reach all parts of the interior from the entrance to enhance efficiency? This kind of thinking prompts us to study the entry and exit habits of different actors, re-plan the layout, and the back-and-forth, circuitous, uncertain and circular movement lines generate multi-space, multi-perspective and continuous changes. As we move through them, we become increasingly vast.

At any time, we hope for an order that allows everything to be in its place, and at the same time, we also hope that everything can be in its nature. To maximize the width of the living room, a column on the west side is released and combined with the office desk. One vertical and one horizontal, it is in harmony with the coffee table, the white sofa and the background display cabinet. The different heights are superimposed front and back, forming a multi-level structural language.

The theme elements of the design always run through the entire process in different forms. A mesh wooden coffee table in the center of the living room has a certain degree of connection with the floor plan layout, becoming a concrete microcosm of the abstract space, where the real and the virtual coexist, and the leakage and transparency complement each other. The cotton and linen fabrics with natural texture, the classic and timeless furniture arrangements, as well as the organic rattan weaving in the dining area, set the overall aesthetic tone between wood and stone, creating a relaxed and well-balanced natural atmosphere.

For us, space is a container, a carrier, and should take a back seat, allowing people to be the subject. The completion of each project's construction is merely a physical accomplishment; it is at this point that the space truly begins to be awakened. There is no need for complicated language. Restraint, simplicity and modesty are equally profound. It is a lifestyle that pursues continuity and timelessness. In every peaceful moment, space presents itself to us in an orderly pattern.
