The realm of light



In the realm of radiant light, there exists a kind of light that cannot be perceived in tangible form but genuinely exists within the field. It resides between frequencies and the intangible, emitting a captivating warmth. On the aged and dilapidated structure, a rejuvenating life force is infused, achieving the desired appearance through the fusion of old and new.



The precursor to this space was an abandoned underground warehouse left vacant for over 50 years, devoid of windows and light, with stagnant air. The owner aspired to transform it into a private retreat within the existing framework. Designer Shemy, employing ingenuity and a commitment to sustainable fashion, retained the ceiling's ruggedness. This was complemented by minimalistic, eco-friendly materials and products enhancing spatial frequencies. The soft furnishings and curtains incorporated negatively ionized fibers using exclusive Japanese technology, creating a space continuously generating negative ions, forming a protective shield.



This shield optimizes the temperature, humidity, and air quality for optimal human comfort, while also blocking environmental radiation and electromagnetic interference. This ensures those within the space are nurtured by negative ions, simultaneously sustaining plant growth, infusing the environment with greenery and vitality. The entire domain resonates with the frequencies of the universe, transcending the limitations of time and space, emitting an eternal and harmonious radiance.
