Layers of Mountains

by Yi-Lun Hsu for Minature Interior Design Ltd.

In this project, the public space is framed by structural beams, with a three tiered ceiling design at its core. A central axis, formed by linear light boxes integrated with air conditioning grilles, evokes the imagery of mountains and rivers - translating the site's natural landscape into three dimensional interior lines. The layered depths within the elongated space naturally draw the eye toward the mountain ridges visible through the windows, connecting the indoors with the surrounding environment.
