Concept: Epiphany explored through…

 LIGHT

As you enter the space, you enter in darkness, and navigate through the space being guided towards the light. However, there is a moment of light peering in between the curvilinear wall and the interior wall creating a mystical element as you first enter the space. As you make your way around the curvilinear wall being guided through the darkness you reach a bend in the wall that transitions you into a flooding of light (experienced in both daylight and night hours).  You follow a moment of light beaconing you into the rest of the space. As you near it you see what is exhibiting the light and its grandeur. You enter the space it is guarding. Just then you are overcome with light. You have entered the kitchen.  Once exiting the kitchen you make your way into the bedroom where there is an explosion of light from the wall of windows. You have completed your journey from darkness into light. You have experienced the epiphany.

UNVEILING

As you enter the space you are forced to follow the lines of the structures in order to reveal what is behind them, as well as within them. Each space unveils another use, and experience. Functions are carved from the structures themselves leaving you to explore every nook and cranny. You feel encapsulated by the structures, yet safe and secure. The passageways are left between each carving giving you a tunnel effect transitioning you between each space. This heightens your curiosity as you turn each corner. Within the two structures enclosed in the overall space you will find a kitchen, bedroom, resting area, and bathroom. You will find the bed hidden with the wall in the bedroom, and closet carved out facing the bathroom. Within the bathroom a space has a custom design for the toilet as well as the shower. Be careful not to overlook what is hidden within each space. Your mind will be intrigued, and what was once hidden will be unveiled and you will have your epiphany.

REAL vs. SURREAL

Be prepared for a surrealistic experience as you enter this space. You first approach an upside down ionic column leading you to transition into the space in search of calm and reality. You find this behind the thought provoking, unexpected things within.  A funhouse mirror wall that reaches from floor to ceiling encloses the kitchen. It continues into an undulating ceiling mirroring what is below twisting, and transforming your outlook. Behind the wall is the bathroom. You reach a sense of normalcy and reality within that enclosure.  However, the adjacent wall is comprised of stairs leading to nowhere. While at an extreme size it makes you want to embark upwards, but you see they meet the ceiling, and you begin your search again for reality. Behind wall of stairs you find the bedroom, again in place of relief you find some sanctuary. The opposite side of the wall of stairs facing into the bedroom is hallowed out, and has shelves to allow for extra storage within the space. Each part of your journey transitions you between reality and the unknown, a surreal experience much like the path from uncertainty to final point where you reach your epiphany.
