Between Light and Shadow
For a photographer, light is an essential element, but in Seattle, it is often ephemeral and fleeting. Inspired by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki’s In Praise of Shadows, the design aims to create a spatial experience that captures the subtle interplay between light and shadows across the four seasons. The exterior and the interior spaces are inextricably linked through a rooftop aperture, bringing light into the space, but also creating shadows from the forces outside. The space not only serves as a working laboratory for a photographer during the day, but it is also a beacon of light at night, acting as a guide for resident and reflects Seattle’s maritime history.
