Through an investigation into the vernacular identity of London, I was intrigued in the orderly rhythm seen present in many facades of generic buildings around London. I observed windows to be the main protagonist that dominates the rhythmic facades and began exploring into the significant role windows play in negotiating a relationship between the inside and outside of a building, with attempts to title this conversation as stage-like mechanism.
Carrying this concept into my London apartment design, I agreed with Aldo Van Eyck's idea that a man's home lies not only in one place or another, but always somewhere in-between (finding a home not only in the apartment, not only in the city, but somewhere in-between) Combining this reference with the ambiguous atmosphere inspired by John Cage's 'silence' concepts, I began establishing my own method of creating 'in-betweens' within my apartment whilst also feeding in the vernacular spirits of the city, in result, creating a space that is realized between an apartment and a city, or ultimately, where a man's home lies.
