Changfa Residence
Travertine and Wood Create a Primitive and Natural Living Space
In this project, we have tried to echo this primitive sentiment of the human through the two natural materials of travertine and wood. To create a realistic and touchable natural living space for the client in Shanghai where seem to be a jungle of steel. We wanted it to be both abstract and realistic, with a strong expressionist sentiment. Meanwhile, we hope to present a spatial atmosphere like a combination of the paintings of Edward Hopper and Mark Rothko.
Changfa Residence is our abstract expression of the primordial sentiment of human beings yearning for nature. It is also an expression of our desire to keep a proper distance from the illusory and highly homogenised internet society. and continues the pursuit of a primitive, natural and poetic space atmosphere in MANN Architects.
