“ Where there’s nothing, everything is possible. Where there is architecture, nothing (else) is possible. “ (Rem Koolhaas)

The project revolves around the central idea of preserving the void of the space, establishing a flexible emptiness capable of accommodating activities of diverse nature while offering ergonomical inspirations. Furniture, fixtures, and utilities are meticulously embedded into the walls, floors, and ceilings, enabling the interior to seamlessly return to an open and uncluttered condition when desired.

In elevation, the space is articulated through a distinct horizontal datum—a waistline. Below this line, the design manifests a considered homage to the architectural heritage of the owner family's generational legacy in Macau; classical silhouettes rendered in a rich materiality of wood veneer provide visual gravity and a grounding sense of tradition. Contrasting this stability, the space above the datum line expresses an intentional fragmentation, articulated in tones of luminous whites and silvers. This upper domain is deliberately abstract and futuristic, subtly suggesting the continuous evolution of the family’s legacy and reflecting an openness to future possibilities.
Functionally, the space serves as an apparatus for creative practice, consciously designed to inspire ergonomic interaction and stimulate both physical movement and thoughtful contemplation. It becomes an instrument of creation, fostering multidisciplinary engagement through the harmonious interplay between stillness and activity, thinking and motion, ascent and descent. The interior is customizable, actively adapting to the needs and preferences of its users.

Entering the space, one first encounters a gently inclined ramp, furnished with an angled sofa accompanied by a corresponding low tea table—an informal area promoting casual dialogue and reflection. Progressing further inward, one arrives at a central void, defined by recessed seating elements. When these seating modules are fully retracted, the central void transforms into an open exhibition area, capable of accommodating diverse spatial arrangements and curatorial intentions.

Beyond the central void, a sculptural installation defines the terminus of the space—a suspended, elongated table hovering above five carefully stacked sets of high stools. Upon descending the table and splitting each stool into two chairs, the composition unfolds into a formal conference setting able to comfortably accommodate ten participants. For enhanced privacy and spatial enclosure, partitions integrated unobtrusively into the surrounding walls can be deployed, delineating a contained area conducive to focused discussion and collaborative exchange.

Through this careful orchestration of spatial flexibility, dynamic ergonomics, and refined material expression, the project becomes a living vessel, continually reshaped by human interaction and creative purpose.
