Our inspiration is from the simple geometry. From digging geometric holes in the wall, we can’t only see the Yin and Yang of the real and virtual but also can see the fluidity of space and the overall form. Through these geometric holes of different sizes and shapes, the permeability of the space can be increased, so that each space is connected to each other, which increases the enjoyment of the space and also increases the natural lighting of the interior.

We will enrich the original building space by adding mezzanine to increase the use of the area. The metal stair soar up , and the small compartment on the second floor makes use of the dislocated spatial design method to erect a  well-proportioned spatial structure. Which is an unexpected reasonable space and  light up before people’ eyes . The space between spaces is more meaningful than the space itself, but it is also easy to be ignored. It is because of the multiplicity , the complexity and the uncertainty of "between space " that make it become infinitely possible.

When entering the studio, we will firstly pass through a small enclosed landscape courtyard. Through the design of perspective, a good visual extension of the outdoor landscape to the indoor space. On the right side of the entrance , the design method of height difference is used to create a sunken communication and leisure space, which makes the overall space more layered and can realize the sense of dislocation between space transformation and functional areas.

The main office area is located on the first floor, and the space functions are distinguished by different overall ground paving materials. On the left side, there are office auxiliary and water bar. The right side is used as the material display area and reading area, and the middle is the public office area. On the moving line, the whole moving line is in a zigzag shape, which facilitates the movement and communication of the staff. On the first floor, the space is divided by two irregular geometric shapes, with a tool room on the left, a bathroom on the right and a glass door in the middle.So that natural lighting from the backyard is well shine into the interior .

The function of the second floor is mainly divided into meeting room, reception area and rest room. The”small box“ is used as a lounge, providing a private resting place for people who come home late from work .

Light processing: We used software to simulate the sunlight in the interior space of the original building. According to the simulation, we added several holes of various sizes on the front and rear walls and the roof. To ensure that the room has uniform natural lighting and ventilation. Indoor space in the afternoon sunshine, create a warm and natural space atmosphere, and with the change of time and sun height, the indoor light slowly move, showing the light on the "transparent".

Material Handling: For the newly added space volume, we have used birch sea board and black painted steel plate to make it as simple and delicate as possible. For the original walls and floors, we used light gray micro-cement. We think that the design should be restrained. Even the use of extremely simple ways and techniques, but also can make the form and space more pure, more elegant, and varied. Here, there are infinite changes between spaces.
