During the site visit for UNICO No.11 Cottage, we were immediately captivated by the magnificent natural scenery of Chicheng Valley. The field of flowers covering the hillsides and the towering trees complement each other, seamlessly blending nature with the manmade. Our design intention was to infuse the beauty of seasons into the space through materials and architectural ingenuity, injecting dynamic social experience and poetry of lighting into this beautiful dwelling, bridging the relationship between inside and outside. Architecturally, we crafted a semi-circular skylight on the roof to introduce natural light during the day. On a bright sunny day, the opening gives a playful pattern on the wall depending on the time of the day. At night, this skylight provides an excellent view for stargazing, immersing people in the dreamy starlight. For astronomy enthusiasts, this is an ideal place to observe the beauty of the night sky. What's more ingenious is that we adjusted the angle of the rotating platform in the design, creating a resonance between the roof and the mezzanine. The 45-degree rotation design injects dynamism and variation into the space, casting unique light and shadow patterns in the room, creating an artistic effect that makes the space more interacting.

This interior design project is a tribute to seasons and a respect for nature. Through the use of colour combinations, lighting treatments, and natural materials, we have infused the space with dynamism and poetry. Here, people can not only experience the vitality and warmth of changing seasons, but also deeply integrate with landscape outside. Through this design, we hope to create UNICO No.11 Cottage into a poetic space that people yearn for, where they can find peace and joy in their hearts, and experience the beauty of nature and the gift of seasons. This design full of poetic charm will leave every visitor deeply intoxicated in this earthly paradise.
