In addition, due to the architectural design
of a large area of floor-touching windows
and a space cut by a large crossbeam,
T.K.Chu Design skillfully outlines an arc
to reflect the distant island, framing the
scenery in a gentle way, as if the condensed
spray art device is also within this frame of
view.
The artist Zhang Guoliang’s ‘soap bubble’,
depicting a childhood of unconditional
happiness dreamily extends to the
sculpture downstairs while floating in
midair. On the staircase, the art piece
bestow the space a warm and childlike
breath, thus every visitor may experience
a subtle feeling of pureness and sheer
happiness. ‘Those who wish to enter this
space can regain the power of hope and
courage,’ T.K.Chu explains. In order to
conform to the special interior inclined wall
surface of the building, and to create art in
the space, Chu carved the staircase along
a curve, completely covering it with stone.
The corridor leads to the floor space, and
the viewer is again welcomed by the artist
Zhang Guoliang’s work. According to the
varying effects of surface oxidation, copper
metal polished materials grant the space
different characteristics.
In T.K.Chu’s design, art is not just
pretentious posturing, but a delicate
perception, a creation. The wall decoration,
seems to be condensed indoor water,
echoes the sea, and above all, like
foam waiting for irradiating light, glows
majestically.
