01 May.2019 Narrow Light-House / Shen Ting Tseng architects Light-House is located in  Hsinchu County , Taiwan. This multi-storied residential building block is designed in consideration of common Taiwanese terrace style houses. This project seeks to rethink the fundamentals of this particular housing model and intends to reinvigorate its underlining idea as “Lian-dong” (describing a continuous housing block) and “Tou-tian” (terrace houses describing buildings with roof spaces open to the sky) in the design approach. Traditionally, the more accurate implication of the term, “Tou-tian”, described the relationship between man and nature; “Lian-dong” suggested a dependent relationship between neighbors. The contemporary version of the Taiwanese terrace style housing has lost this connection to its original intensions, although people have land, the connection between neighbors and nature has greatly diminished. The project proposes another version of a contempor

01 May.2019 Narrow house with amazing exterior and interior concept design. Designed for a newly married couple, this townhouse is a tribute to the Filipino spirit. Buensalido Architects, a Manila-based archietctural design firm that pushes for contemporizing Filipino architecture, found the aesthetic expression of this design intent through triangles, an abstracted representation of banderitas (or flaglets) that one would commonly see in local fiestas and festivals. As a country, the Philippines has one almost every day. It is a manifestation of the Filipino’s optimism and positive outlook in their lives, always knowing how to smile no matter how bad their situation is. This was captured with the different bursts of colors within the house, achieving a sense of vibrancy, festivity, and positivist. These conceptual ideas were physically implemented in a contemporary and innovative way: the banderitas and triangles on the interior surfaces were achieved with a CNC milli

30 Apr.2019 Narrow house Skinny Exterior design very Special A tall skinny house can become lost along the row, but that doesn’t seem to be an issue with these narrow facade house ideas. By implementing a selection of innovative planting ideas to create vertical gardens, some beautiful screening and modern shutters, these narrow plot houses stand way out from the rest of the street. This collection also has a multitude of architectural features such as asymmetrical roof lines, contemporary cladding and unique shaped windows. A tiny plot in the middle of a city can even harbour an internal garage, tucked away into the small footprint of the ground floor, to provide coveted off-road parking. Exterior parking space has been achieved here by raising the entry floor, which is accessed via an external staircase to the front door. Squares are punched out of a sloping concrete facade, to create peepholes to lush planting and warm glimmers of light. Faces protrude and s
