Project Description
The “cave” has long been a fundamental structure for human habitation, and this particular project takes inspiration from its curved shape to create a space that truly embodies the essence of a cave. By doing so, the design aims to evoke a warm and welcoming feeling of "home" for its residents, offering a cozy and comfortable experience that they will cherish. The public space within this structure includes a reception area, a lounge, a cooking classroom, and a gymnasium, among other amenities. The overall planning of the project follows a minimalist style, which further enhances the elegance and simplicity of the design.
Upon entering the reception hall, one will be greeted by the stunning sight of staggered light lines that adorn the wall, creating a mesmerizing and serene ambiance. The designer has utilized curved elements throughout the Z-shaped floor plan, which ensures a seamless flow between different areas of the hall. The ceiling has been intentionally compressed at the interface and elevated in the lounge section, providing guests with a feeling of being transported to "another village in the darkness".
