Sunlight Courtyard, Entrance Lobby of Aranya / SHISUO design office
In 2024, SHISUO Design Office was commissioned by Aranya to reimagine the lobby spaces within the podium levels of two mountain-view residences in Sanya. The original architecture leveraged the site's elevation differential: while one side of the podium nestles against the hillside, a narrow lightwell pierces through the interior; the opposite side connects to terraced platforms, forming the residents' homecoming gateway. A covered corridor acts as a prelude to homecoming. Walls clad in volcanic rock create framed window openings that capture exterior landscapes or assemble into a perforated screen, allowing light to filter through gaps. These contrasts of light and shadow introduce rhythm to the elongated space, mediating between the exterior and interior realms.
