Qualities of the city

Looking back to the development of Hong Kong building.

Wondering that "Is it important to preserve building in Hong Kong?"

 Issue of population growth

Finding the characteristic of the site.

House on Cables

With the limited amount of the given area, we decided to use the advantage of not having height limit to design our house.

With the furniture being stored above our head, more space is available when those furniture is not in use.

 The user is able to move comfortably in the house while doing things in the house. They can also mix and match those furniture according to their needs such as using the kitchen at the same time with dinning table or moving the bed up when using the kitchen. Because everything is stored above, there is enough space to do other activities such as exercise or inviting friends over.

Movement & Boundary

The diagram is shown the relation between human and the object by the movement before you use and when you use it. As you can see there are a lots of activities that happen in the same times at "bed" and "working desk" which I always spent the most time on it. On the right side I use 0.5 m* 0.5 m grid to show the area of boundary and the movement of the body and object.

This diagram is shown the sequence of time and my activities which is base on my summer routine. As you can see the document is shown that I always stay in my bedroom and spent more than 9 hours a days on my bed.
