Sensory Links
Deep in the suburb of Hong Kong, a 700' ground floor unit of a local village house is set next to a 1,200' terrace with a glimpse of the South China Sea. The design searches for a stronger coherency between the unit and the terrace as a means to embrace rural living. To relate elements that speak to our senses, a carved stone, a water surface and a timber deck are introduced. These components are arranged to create a series of sensory experience that can be appreciated from both the unit and the terrace, which also strengthens the link between them.
