Continuous of light

About The Entry

This case involves the planning of a single-story residential home with an indoor area of approximately 59 square meters.

Far from the hustle and bustle of the city, the residence is nestled in the mountains, with picturesque views that change with the seasons. The entire home is designed around the concept of "Nordic modern," blending large areas of natural wood elements with a touch of rustic style, imparting a pure and back-to-basics beauty. In terms of layout, bold decisions were made to remove opaque partition walls in the study, master bedroom, and kitchen, opting instead for glass to define the spaces. This brings light into the home and allows the outdoor greenery to seamlessly extend indoors, creating a sense of visual and spiritual expansion, while using pure white as the base to reduce visual noise.

At the junction of the public area and the kitchen, indirect lighting softens the large beams that run across the space. A large storage cabinet embodies the philosophy of "subtraction," leaving space above and adorned with wooden shelves, adding a touch of three-dimensionality to the pure space. The stove wall is covered with white tiles, echoing the blinds on the balcony, creating a subtle intertwining of styles that evokes a warm, playful feeling.

The most surprising feature of the entire home is the use of translucent rainbow glass to replace the partition walls between public and private areas, while also concealing a changing area. The three large sliding glass doors showcase the craftsmanship details, minimizing gaps between the glass panels as much as possible under space constraints, achieving both aesthetics and practicality, and creating a living sanctuary that returns to its original essence.
