AND: Designing a Free Spiritual Territory

Zhongchi Real Estate and DSArchitects created a unique atmosphere through design, connecting the present to the future and creating a free spiritual territory in a prosperous business landscape. The gathering of modern elites is connected by the “urban living room”.

Aldenberger’s concept of “Third Space” suggests that people’s homes are social places, as well as places to live and work, and this time-space encounter is explored in this project. AND’s functional blocks, composed of points, lines, and surfaces, explore how to release the potential of “third space” through digital technology. The accessibility and sociality of “third space” determine the points, information intensity and functional diversity determine the lines, and a surface that integrates consumption, entertainment, and social places increases user flow.

The clean and orderly space, composed of light, shadows, and lines, arouses tranquillity in the subconscious. All arrangements seem to be scattered at will, but they express the ritual sense of space in a restrained way, presenting a more free and stretched state.

The inspiration of the yacht makes the residents see the infinite possibilities of space. For themselves, it is their most treasured private domain. For their friends, it is a warm and receptive environment for comfortable enjoyment. ‘Spirit’ is the overall concept. In this spiritual territory, lifestyle will not be defined, but rather will be freely played with through great creativity.

Home is a showcase for personal heroism, and the design integrates the subjective consciousness of the occupant with the objective existing space to create a unique spiritual atmosphere. The mystery created by the main bedroom is in the grey zone between restraint and publicity, allowing people to gaze upon a slice of starlit sky in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling window at any time, while returning to their own spiritual territory at will.

The designer believes that solitude is the best practice for a person and offers life’s greatest scenery. Compared to the main bedroom, the guest bedroom is intended to provide a completely different experience in terms of hotel-quality hospitality and comfort.

The bathroom space is lined up along the floor-to-ceiling windows, which is an opening for thinking, enjoying warm sunshine, and experiencing greater connection with the city. When entering, one can see a better self because of the presence of light, while imagination inspires visions of internationalised life.
