In the melodious layers, images depict life Dusty light, dragon shadows dancing gracefully
We firmly believe that the vividness and vitality, dimensionality and hierarchy, emotions and temperature of architecture are all unique charms bestowed by light. Just like the complex and ever-changing relationships between people and space, light is no longer an isolated element, but has become a dynamic dancer in space. It freely shuttles and jumps in space, sometimes gentle and delicate, sometimes passionate and unrestrained, displaying a ever-changing posture. It is with the participation of light that architecture seems to infuse soul and emotion, becoming vivid and three-dimensional, full of stories and warmth.
The Dust Image Studio is located on the top floor of a four story building, with wide open windows arranged on both sides, making the entire space appear both open and orderly. However, it is not difficult to find that the visual presentation of space is mainly limited to horizontal extension, and the vertical spatial sense is slightly insufficient, seemingly lacking a three-dimensional level and depth. Although the windows on both sides make the entire space well lit and bright as day, they also make the sense of hierarchy of the space unable to be fully displayed, appearing slightly dull.
Therefore, this time we have decided to cleverly incorporate some vertical design elements into the space to enhance its sense of dimensionality and hierarchy. At the same time, we focus on introducing light from the top, which not only breaks the original horizontal visual limitations, but also enriches the lighting and shadow effects of the space.
In terms of controlling the lighting on both sides, we have carefully adjusted the position of the original windows after careful consideration. In order to ensure that the side light can accurately fall on the predetermined position, we have decided to cancel some of the side windows. Through this strategic renovation, we aim to create a more layered and aesthetically pleasing spatial atmosphere.
In order to enhance the design of vertical spatial movement lines, stairs are no longer solely responsible for the function of movement line structures. We drew inspiration from Wright's concept of mobile space and endowed it with more attributes and functions by introducing light and adding platforms. It has become the focus and highlight of space, attracting people's attention and footsteps. Here, people can stop and stop, appreciate the changes in light and shadow, and feel the charm of space. This design not only supplements the vertical space, making it more three-dimensional and rich, but also enhances the practicality and experience of the space in daily use.
The crisp sound of each shutter click captures and seals precious memories. Although the surface of the building has peeled off over time, the mottled original concrete structure is like the imprint of history, silently telling the past and story carried by this building. It stands quietly there, witnessing the flow of time and also witnessing the growth and transformation of the emerging image studio.
The mottled concrete structure of the building echoes with the light and shadow art of the Dust Image Studio, telling the story of time and the temperature of memory together.
The original one-way channel became rich in layers through the cleverly implanted hanging ladder in the middle. Not only does it open up diverse downward paths for the top terrace, but it also allows indoor and outdoor spaces to complement each other, no longer isolated. The newly added skylight with an angle at the top injects a new soul into the space. These skylights are designed at unique angles, allowing light to shine into the interior in a softer and more natural way.
