Our life is constant. We are doing similar things every day, and it may take a long time for an unexpected event to happen. Until the outbreak of the epidemic in 2020, we were forced to be isolated, we were trapped in our individual rooms. Until I recovered from the initial shock, I tried to think about loneliness seriously.
Even if there was no epidemic, we would still lock ourselves in a self-protective shell, which is invisible but indestructible. We are complex animals driven by emotions. On the one hand, we love loneliness, it allows us to think about the direction we deeply want. But we also yearn for social approval. We love the first grace of the morning sun, but we also enjoy dancing under the moon.
I hope that this living space can provide a suitable environment that allows us to mount loneliness, to have a chance to think peacefully, which also allows us to be sociable, to enjoy spending the dusk with friends drinking beer.

City plan
/The ground floor is a flat and open space, where the public can enjoy natural light and shelter from rain under the building. The cool wind in summer will flow under the building, so this space will be good for drinking tea or doing exercise./
Individual plan
/By changing the rotating partition and curtains, the entire space can be changed according to the mood of the user. It can be very airtight, so you can sleep quietly. It can also be very transparent, allowing sunlight to fill the entire room. Even during the quarantine period, it is possible to open the curtains and make a toast with a neighbor. This is the space where you can enjoy loneliness, you can think about what you deeply want. You are protected, so you can be yourself./
Community plan
/The top space is an open space and higher than the space for the public, so it is not disturbed by people outside the community. Residents can reach this top space through private stairs. The interconnecting spaces allow the residents to enjoy the opportunity to socialize. You can easily carry a few chairs from downstairs for a barbecue party or a seminar. These stairs also provide another way to visit neighbours./
