DESIGN NAME: Spark
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Residential Home
INSPIRATION: The designer grasps an understanding that the space itself could be decked out with natural light, art and even spatial construction. Hence, with a total area of 1,448 square-metre, the house have been reduced the number of partitions and minimized the decorations so that the space will be perceived as a whole. This contemporary, minimalistic design approach produces the impression of coherence while creating a powerful aesthetic impact.

This four-floor house is connected by a dramatic twisting staircase that extends up to an attic. Its whitewashed balustrade curves away from the nook, which forms a sculptural ribbon fluttering in the air. Upon entering, large windows in the living room allow the plenty of nature light pouring over the furniture and frame views of the outdoor verdant garden.

Adjoining kitchen, dining area and lounge, this intervention allows the residents to enjoy a more contemporary style of living. The coving of the ceiling is curved, forming a delicate junction between the wall and ceiling, and softening the character of the 3.4-metre high volume.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: -
CHALLENGE: The processing of structural curve surface would be the principle challenge while creating this space. The curving staircase was made of several white-paint steel panels in different heights, which had been cut and forged for tightly connecting and turning out a naturally smooth radian. The living room in void structure features TV backdrop like the page corner rolled up. This bespoke curly shape in aluminum plate appears to be made by the procedures of manual lofting, making master plate, building in the wall, spraying finishing paint afterwards.
