Design Interview

21 June 2023 · Deji Cultural Complex Museum

The main idea of this design is to eliminate the walls of the museum as much as possible. The design is intended to stimulate the visitor's interest and curiosity about the artworks, as if to arouse their curiosity about what is behind the fog or clouds.

Often, museums themselves feel closed to the expensive, elite world and inaccessible to the average person. Therefore, I wanted to create a museum that was open to audiences. By being open, people can easily become interested in art, and more people will have the opportunity to learn from works of art.

We are proceeding with plans to expand the area of the art museum.

Although the request was for a design for a museum, this is the design that was obtained by pursuing inspiration.

Designer Interview

Initially, I wanted to be a fashion designer. However, as I became more concerned with the environment I create, I came to believe that environment and atmosphere are essential to fashion. Therefore, I became interested in designing environments that present fashion.

Our design studio is dedicated to designing exciting commercial spaces that make your heart beat +10 BPM. We start our design process with a thorough understanding of the client's business and brand philosophy, concept, and history, and then proceed from careful planning to understand the direction in which the client is headed and to realize that direction. Our goal is to provide a comfortable space that is exciting and inviting from the moment you enter it.
We are always sensitive to the latest design trends and technologies, and we provide our clients with the best possible design to meet their needs. We value the importance of changing and evolving with the times, and we do not create a fixed style, but are constantly updating it.

Space design is a place that gives people experiences.

Being needed by someone is a happy thing. More than any design, it is important to know how much one is needed.

I focus on the emotions I feel when I am in the space as a guest.

I am conscious of thinking about things from a bird's eye view first, rather than starting from the design.

Usability.

I believe that long-life design is the way to think about the environment.

I believe that collaboration across specialties, not just one field, will make design more perfect.

The advantages of this city are its cleanliness and the coexistence of tradition and innovation. I think the clean and lean lifestyle influences our designs.
