NO.1 Squareness and Roundness, Constancy and Change
The heavens exhibit a roundness, while the earth assumes a square form.
Between squareness and roundness lies the realm of heaven, earth, and all things.
RARA, a brand specializing in whole-house customization, exemplifies the concept of “squareness and roundness” within its exhibition hall, blending artistic beauty with formal elegance in its architectural design. The convergence of cuboid shapes and double circular columns creates a precisely measured design texture, resulting in a structurally complete form that breaks away from the traditional architectural mindset of solely rational geometric squares and circles.
NO.2 Exploring Order and Freedom
Within all artworks, especially plastic art forms, there exists both change and order as fundamental principles.
When discussing circulation, we are essentially exploring the potential for spatial order. Order acts as a vessel for specific human activities, enlivening space and facilitating increased interaction.
In the RARA hall, the arrangement of squares and circles fosters a layout that is both adaptable and orderly, offering viewers flexible ingress and egress. The interconnected structure imbues a profound sense of temporal and spatial “lag,” inviting full engagement in an immersive experience that stems from the space’s autonomy. RARA also demonstrates the potential future style of office design, seamlessly integrating exhibition and office spaces. As the boundaries between the two gradually blur, a space is created that harmoniously merges movement and display.
Wireless, intelligent, and human-centric mobile offices are burgeoning, enriching the possibilities for office development in the post-pandemic era.
NO.3 Indoor and Outdoor, a Seamless Unity
Continual integration within the space
The architecture itself stands complete, sculptural, and monumental.
——Yoshinobu Ashihara
The exterior comprises horizontally arranged bamboo pieces, their smooth lines and rhythmic patterns bestowing a natural magnificence upon the entire exhibition hall. Its minimalist facade evokes curiosity within the viewers, with the prominently positioned trees sprouting from seeds acting as focal points, infusing vitality into the structure.
Upon entry, as the scenery evolves with each step, a diverse array of high-quality living scenes unfolds amidst the interplay of light and shadow. Wardrobes, antique cabinets, invisible doors, and wall displays seamlessly merge with the space, emphasizing refined details and textures. The towering bookcase stands out, serving as a partition that creates multi-level perspectives between concealment and exposure. Visually, it intertwines with the curved spatial frame, providing an array of line variations.
Every enduring brand, from its conceptual inception to the emergence of design sketches and the ultimate presentation of works, relies on collective wisdom. RARA, as a high-end brand, integrates top-level resources and maximizes original creativity. Their product, brimming with spatial aesthetics, exemplifies exquisite craftsmanship and showcases the deep and profound history of RARA in whole-house customization. The two converge to deliver a flawless presentation, inheriting elegance while cultivating a profound understanding of luxury.
Breaking free from the limitations of physical space and nurturing boundless possibilities within those constraints, CUN DESIGN embarks on a revolutionary endeavor within the familiar environments we all inhabit, crafting an unparalleled space adorned with customized products. Cabinets, wardrobes, antique cabinets, invisible doors, wall displays, and other products are positioned meticulously to offer the most suitable placements.
The beauty within architectural space unfolds as a romantic and imaginative encounter. Its timeless allure imprints itself on the spatial axis, while its boundless beauty is etched across the temporal axis.
Hence, RARA achieves a profound integration of functionality and artistic value, both from the outside in and from the inside out. It attains a high level of harmony between practicality and aesthetics. Whether viewed from indoors or outdoors, one is captivated by its integrated design, where the interplay of squareness and roundness commences an unending journey.
