This is a 90-square-meter apartment adjacent to a mountain hill full of trees and bamboos. A couple live in it with a dog, and a lively statue of Dharma.
The couple enjoy indoor leisure as much as outdoor activities. They would delve into floral and culinary art for pleasure, or go deep in the woods and valley for adventure. When they showed me this refined yet rugged statue of silver and white, I was intrigued by the dual characteristic they all possess.
Hence, I imagined the interior as the outdoors by creating a series of platforms differ in height and materiality. One could walk and sit on warm wooden-surface, and deal with daily-work on hard stone-counter. The variation of height echoes the natural terrain of the adjacent hill, and is also a metaphor of the wave beneath Dharma’s feet. Underneath them, are ample room for storage.
The apartment is essentially an open space; the platforms function as multi-purpose furniture for individual or collective to nestle upon. The space is a den for two, and is also a retreat for friends. Dharma floats in a cave-like cabinet on the axis of the day-to-day, as if all is in his gaze.
Sit at will, bath in cave, find a soothing corner to contemplate. Space flows from one to another; being within is as if being out there.
