How to establish the link relationship of independent functions?

Concept

The internal and external spaces of the building correspond to the privacy and open vitality quadrants of public activities

Use the glass curtain wall to form "physical transparency" and organizational design of the building facade. The internal function type of the building according to the vitality quadrant

Through design transformation, a boundaryless interior vs exterior; an interlaced plane layer structure; a conceptual transparency are generated. The establishment of transparency at both at physical level and conceptual level creates a multi-dimentional spatial experience for psychological safety and adapt to the demands of residence, work and social life.

Schematic Design

Program Stacking

To satisfy the spatial combination of work, life and social life in a small complex, the project creates multiple levels of spatial "transparency" to solve this problem.
