Lake Lantern

Minimalism Defines Life

s a follower and practitioner of the concept “spatial fluidity”,
Evans Lee adheres to minimalism in private residential
Adesign. In his view, instead of the designer's single idea,
minimalism should refer to the sustainable co-creation of dwellers,
providing comprehensive space for parent-child interaction with
warmth and blessing. Spatial fluidity, the distinction of Lake Lantern,
is born to be the best of private residential design, not the aesthetic.

In this project, Evans creates space as pure background. With multiple
interactions in life, the poetic novel residence comes into being, like
an art gallery. “Whether it be mansion, villa or apartment, the first
step of our design is to open the space, removing redundant walls and
doors, realising the embrace of light and circulation of air."

Minimalism does not mean fixed form or single order. Evans Lee has
years of experience in infusing minimalism in residents’ life. Based on
the concept of “comprehensive space and spontaneous interaction”, the
designer divides the space to demonstrate completion and visibility
as much as possible, presenting minimalism through vast voids,
eliminating limitation and reconstructing landscape. Wandering in
the interior space, the daily picture is modestly presented with poetic
ambience.

Minimalism can demonstrate ultimate effects. Based on the
bidirectional flow of breeze and light, the fluidity allows residents’
life to develop into the communication between people and nature.
For this reason, the designer blurs the boundary and limitation of the
space, designing a moveable door between living rooms and multi-
functional rooms. By doing this, residents can have a broader view
in the room and more space for parent-child communication. The
modern artistic pictures rejuvenate the dynamic with the moving of
the door.
