Little Space Shop's Tokyo Gas Competition Entry

Hi everyone, 

So I recently entered into a competition and I just wanted to upload the entry on to the blog and let everyone take a look. My concept was pulling a function to modern green walls and by doing so create new ways to layout a city  as well as the lifestyle we would have.

Line House

I wanted to celebrate lines. It's very unusual for people to see everything in the world. But unfortunately, sometimes, we miss even the most simplest thing. With this idea in mind, I decided to take a simple line and used it to define 2 buildings. I came up with this idea while I was in the subway.

Just Some sketches...

Just a sketch of a building...

Thinking about what museums in space would be like...

Thinking about what my future office would be like...

A chocolate project I've be working on...

Testing out text and graphics...
Redefining fashion and beauty...Looking at the everyday life...

In 10 years.

As the creator of little space shop I feel as though I haven't introduced myself at all. My experience my background and what my goal is for 'Little Space Shop'.

I'm not an idealistic designer. I'm not an aesthetic designer. But instead, I fix problems. My experience and background includes over 7 years in the field of architecture and within these 7 years, I've worked in 5 different architecture firms. However, visual language and what most people define as 'architecture'' is not what I fine important. But instead, it's the way that people live and how we will live in the future that interests me. I also have an extensive background in product design. I lived in London for 3 years studying product design. I find that products continuously defines and redefines the way that we live. They have a direct link to our lives that architecture cannot reach.

Between the 2 fields, I find what I do. Improving the way that we live. Even though society finds these fields well defined. I still believe that they are extremely abstract. There's room to create and innovate. In 10 years, I hope that 'Little Space Shop' does just that create and innovate.

Sincerely,
CY
