Thoughts

We have our own aspiration of creating a space and lot of memories of living architecture. We call these invisible aspects of architecture the immaterial.

There are other aspects, which are visible and touchable by senses; and we call them the material. The list of building materials are endless, including but not limited to the site, context, details, texture, structure, codes, environment and thousands of more. Among all, we treasure nature, light, shadow and breeze as timeless material.

When a design process is deeply penetrated and well executed, ultimately, the material should become invisible and what the occupants experience is the profound immaterial enjoyment. Now comes the moment when the immaterial is well translated and the material is beautifully composed.
