The spatial experience begins with a rearranged layout that overcomes the constraints of conventional new-build structures, such as excessive corridors, exposed beams, and limited natural light. A low wood-paneled ceiling at the entry creates a transitional passage, inviting residents to step into the space. Movement flows naturally as light filters through walls and crevices, transforming a sense of enclosure into an expansive visual release. This deliberate rhythm softens the oppressive presence of ceiling beams while heightening sensory awareness.

This carefully choreographed movement leads seamlessly to the material and lighting interplay, where contrasts create depth and harmony. By creating contrasts, we added depth to the space, balancing and enriching sensory perception.

The cool texture of gray plaster contrasts with the warmth of teak wood and muted beige tones, forming a balanced and cohesive rhythm. Light further defines these surfaces: natural light streams through large windows, leaving soft patterns on walls and materials.

Concealed functionality is another key aspect of the design, blending utility with aesthetics. A wall might serve as discreet storage, while a curved corner could refract or redirect light in subtle and surprising ways.

At Ignotus, practicality is intentionally understated, allowing functionality to reveal itself naturally through interaction. This balance of form and function creates a space that encourages freedom and curiosity, letting the unknown unfold in meaningful and unexpected ways.
