Our strip is separated into two parts and located a bit far, which gives them contrast.
That means that they have completely different aspects.
First of all, I wondered how they interrelate and then, realized to do in “spiritual” way.
Secondly, I summarized their contrast following the analysis we did, which could be valuable to design.
For the starting point, I just drew a straight axis connecting two points where I aimed to do my project.
Then put two staircases on it.
These elements should let two-point interrelate in a spiritual way, and at the same time, they also could be factors can be against some possibilities may occur.
Two projects I am proposing are quite tiny inspired by Japanese minimum house.
One is a boathouse for weekdays, and the other is a tea house for a weekend, both of which will be used by a single person.
