PROJECT
DESCRIPTION
This is a private auto collection.
The leading role here is neither the cars not the persons, but the tacit understanding and appreciation for each other between them, which have been yearn for being protected all the way.
The entire space is partitioned into two floors.
The first floor is a place provided to accommodate those legendary vintage cars which have gone through different hardships and tribulations and had numerous stories. This floor is also provided with the repair room, car washing room and car elevator.
It is begun with the unreserved red, representing the life, blood and freedom…Texture and energy of the life are manifested here, which is the chasing after speed, the embrace of adventure, and also the desire to communication.
Horse is the spiritual totem in this world of life. It is raising hooves and running at full speed, symbolizing the earliest desire of human for the speed and distant place. Keep pace with the modern supercars travelling as quick as a flash.
The second floor highlights the social communication for interactions and dialogues to create the resonance between human and cars and between human and human.
A string of figures recorded on the ceiling is the fastest lap time of Schumacher in Shanghai F1 Circuit in 2004. The loud whistling created when the cars on the competition circuit sped along and the touching blast appear in mind again amidst the lamp light time and time again.
Get yourself into the bright yellow box to simulate the automobile circuit, as if you were hidden under the covers and played games at the childhood to compete for speed with time and arm yourself, enable yourself to be strong enough to conquer the world and have high morale.
Blue is the color of time, which is rational and memorable, past and present, intimacy and sharing. The stay at this moment is becoming an eternal to be meaningful and lingering…
BU KU is not a simple “garage”, but an exclusive world for cars, and also a place nearest to our original dream, which is full of life energy.
Designer: Nancy Lee
Years of overseas study and work experience have enabled different schools and styles of design concepts to integrate and sublimate in she’s pursuit of art and excellence. Advanced design concepts and geometric aesthetics in the West and refined Confucian and elegant culture in the East are integrated and mutually complementary, so that tradition and innovation, science and aesthetics, fashion and the eternal achieved perfect communication, bursting out excellent ideas and fulfilling customers' entrustment. The most reasonable and scientific scheme are presented to the customers through the collision of ideas and repeated deliberations, so that each project is the desired, and the distinguished customers can enjoy the frontier design around the world.
Nancy Lee believes that design is the art of balance, among rationality and sensibility, science and art, budget and effect, material and craft… It is simple for designers to make the space environment "beautiful", but it is difficult to achieve the perfect combination of function and beauty. For a home, it needs to add emotional attribution and unparalleled comfort experience to make it a "love experience" which cannot be exchanged by "super five-star hotel". If it is a business space, then add the consideration of "market" and "customer" to let the space serve the business. After all, if the core value of commercial space has not been realized, it cannot be called a successful work, even if the design itself has won numerous awards.
