I designed the apartment like an urn. I wanted the space
to be very private, quiet and solemn existing only for the inhabitant.
I thought an urn represents this concept in a most appropriate way.
I wanted the apartment to have two separate spaces, one for body (eating,
working and bathing) and one for spirit (thinking, reading and sleeping).
Space for sleep - People go back and forth
between consciousness and unconsciousness while they sleep. I think this
time gives us various things.
Space for reading - Books give us a lot of
knowledge, and improve our imagination.
Space for thinking - We have lots of things
which have to think about, for example, work, study, etc. This space will
help us concentrate.
Stairs - They connect the 1st floor and 2nd
floor to connect body and spirit in this design. I think the stairs represent
a human being because human beings are made up of body and spirit.
