The Land of Serenity

In today's fast-paced and stressful world, people often find themselves in need of a place to unwind, relax, and slow down their pace of life. To address this need, this project takes a unique approach to traditional housing. It starts with a focus on sensory experience, using the "wabi-sabi aesthetics" as a guiding principle for the overall planning process. The design incorporates a range of elements to create a harmonious, serene, simple, and pure spatial atmosphere. This includes the use of low-saturation colors that are calming to the eye, curved elements that add a sense of fluidity to the design, and simple materials that create a sense of warmth and comfort. The goal of this design is to provide an environment that promotes relaxation and mindfulness. By stripping away unnecessary elements and simplifying the design, the homeowner can leave behind the complexity of their thoughts and focus on the beauty of life. The result is a space that feels natural, peaceful, and serene.

The space is designed to create a warm and serene atmosphere, achieved through the use of low-saturated colors, woodwork, and curved surfaces. The walls are coated with beautifully swirled lacquer, adding a unique texture to the surface that perfectly embodies the essence of wabi-sabi style - the acceptance of life's imperfections. The tea room design is inspired by Oriental Zen and aims to create a peaceful and calming environment. The use of spatial imagery of a withered landscape adds to the overall atmosphere, creating a scene of slow living for the residents. The layered mood of the space is further enhanced by the combination of art paints, which add a subtle touch of elegance to the design. Overall, the design creates a natural and simple vibe that is both inviting and comforting.

The designers created a well-planned L-shaped open space pattern to enhance the area's usability in the shared living area. One of the compartments was thoughtfully removed and converted into an open tea room, which offers a welcoming and lively atmosphere, increasing the light level of the space.
