![Effectively using daylight and including plants to create a sustainable space.](https://i0.wp.com/prattsustainabilitycenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Moss-House_Keyi-Che_01-Keyi-Che.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&ssl=1)
An interior space occupied by moss, one of the most sustainable plants.
Inspired by moss, a plant evolved from algae, a great indicator of pollution, and requires low maintenance, which makes it a great plant for creating a sustainable environment. In this project, I proposed a sustainable plant store that focuses on moss, creating an experience that is immersive and where plants and people are intertwined together.

Sustainable exchange between light and existing space.

The Moss House is a multi-functional space consisting of plant display areas, retail, workshop, and lounge, meeting the needs for privacy in a public space.

By opening up the original storefront and designing a storefront sitting area to blend the boundary between the outside community and the plant store, at the same time creates a more interesting experience for people and allows more light into the space.

The placement of moss encloses and encircles all other programs.
