Architecture holds the power to inspire and transform our day-to-day experience. The everyday act of pressing a door handle and opening into a light-washed room can be more profound when experienced through sensitised consciousness. The void space/ hinged space housing is more than just a dwelling space, but a device to sensitised and intensified the experience of passing back and forth, from the very own home to communal spaces. The three thresholds contrast one another in terms of light and shadow, physical dimension and enclosure. Experiencing architecture is not circumscribed by the dwelling unit itself, but also a complete journey from entering the housing complex, to stepping into the corridors, to reaching the own dwelling unit.
Threshold is expressed as corridor connecting dwelling units. The progression from corridor to unit involves the drastic change from the communal zone to private zone. The reinterpretation of the INTERFACE that marks the differentiation challenges contemporary way of defining housing, and sets forth the spatial seed as design driver. Corridor exists as an isolated threshold system. The independent operation of the system generates accidental pocket spaces.
