Unveiling the Concept
Yugen, a cornerstone of traditional Japanese aesthetics, embodies a sense of depth and mystery that transcends verbal expression. Casa Yugen, a testament to this concept, invites visitors on a journey of introspection and awe. Through the interplay of light and shadow, the house beckons one to contemplate the enigmatic beauty of the universe and the human experience.
Embracing Organic Design
From its curved entrance wall to its seamless integration with the surrounding landscape, Yugen House epitomizes organic design. The central axis unfolds the social area without corners, creating a fluid and interconnected space. A water mirror reflects the macro bonsai and the sky, adding depth and texture to the surroundings.
Playing with Chiaroscuro
Chiaroscuro, the art of contrast between light and dark, takes center stage in Yugen House. Dark walls frame illuminated windows, creating a captivating interplay of light and shadow. Elements merge and mimic one another, blurring the boundaries between furniture, decor, and architecture.
Harmonizing Nature and Architecture
The presence of large-scale vegetation, such as the ‘false rubber tree’ plant, serves as a visual anchor, blurring the line between indoors and outdoors. The kitchen, with its minimalist design and strategic lighting, evokes the essence of natural light, despite its lack of windows. The Nile Quartz island stands as a monolithic centerpiece, seamlessly integrated into the space.
A Symphony of Elements
Yugen House is not merely a structure but a symphony of elements, each contributing to the overall harmony of the space. From the hidden knowledge within the dark bookcase to the sculptural elegance of the kitchen island, every detail tells a story and adds to the richness of the Yugen experience.
