Looping Flower

Extra Form

Country	China
Year	2024
Award	GOLD WINNER

Designer	Ni Jie Guo
English	Flower path-with natural, short-lived plants, let time freeze in space in a different manner. The school of "Caoyue School" studied by owners does not pursue the so-called "right" and "standard", but also advocates free material and free expression. Its strong sense of innovation stands out in the traditional flower-path school. Therefore, we dismantle the design based on the spirit of "the flow of grass and moon": extracting elements from traditional Japanese architecture and transforming them into the modern architectural language, and exploring the relationship between structure and contemporary aesthetics with abstract Japanese features.
Native	花道 - 以自然、生命短暂的植物，让时间以一种别样的姿态定格在空间之中。业主研习的“草月流”流派以不追求所谓的“正确”和“标准”，更提倡自由素材及自由表现方式。其强烈的革新意识在传统花道流派中脱颖而出。因此在整个空间的设计上，我们基于“草月流”精神，对设计进行了拆解：从传统日式建筑中提炼元素并转化为现代建筑语言，以抽象的日式元素探索当代构造和美学的关系，让“她”不一定是传统的具象，但拥有日式的气质。在平面的组织上，建筑外部使用半高石墙作为前阶，用鹅卵石作为过渡，在户外环境和内部空间中我们开辟了第三区域，重新演绎了日本建筑传统物理媒介“缘侧”，让街边喧闹的氛围与室内静谧的氛围形成强烈对比。消除了建筑生硬的边界感。针对项目位于沿河边，湿度大的缺点。在空间层次上，我们在地面做了三个层级的抬高，抬高地面的第一层级降低潮湿的地气渗入，再在中空位置设置活动暗格，放置木炭以降低湿度，从而改善临河潮湿的问题同时让空间变得丰富。此外，三个渐进的抬高也预示着空间性质由公共向私密过渡，增强空间体验感。由于地面的抬高处理后吊顶的高度变得相对较矮，空间天花区块利用挑高构建，将原始建筑的梁位露出，利用点线面的关系塑造具有东方感的斜屋顶和木梁的效果，在大的框架下再以构成方式穿插结构造型。露在室内的梁柱结构给空间以节奏感和秩序感。不刻意找平所有墙面，裸露部分柱体和梁位呼应，让整个空间产生呼吸感。在空间肌理的营造上，我们更倾向于贴近自然元素质感，以米灰色艺术漆和深色木质相结合，营造出日式庭院氛围般静谧的体验空间。
