Anti-Domino No. 02 - Wood Mountain

The primary question we consider is how to create a response to integrate the outdoor environment. We employ a set of new structural language in this project, to simulate the special mountainous space of Chongqing. The mountainous terrain is introduced into the restricted concrete space with integration of a more subtle scale of furniture. This amplifies the dimensional feeling of the space, and also introduces the more relaxed body gestures (sit, lie, squat, lean) of the Chongqing local people into such a scene of modern life.
