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 contemporary housing model for Taiwan, encouraging spatial encounters in connection with the natural environment by introducing the elements of “breathing pockets” between spaces and within each level - courtyards, balconies, terraces, and light wells. These elements are designed in relationship to its internal staircases, rooms and open spaces in order to generate a layered spatial relationship vertically and horizontally within each multi-leveled unit. This layered interior condition creates private spaces within open spaces; therefore, generating a sense of retreat within a vast space.
Natural light and wind are brought into the interior, through layers of square openings and windows on the southern elevation, transforming the internal spaces with varying lighting conditions throughout the day. Natural light extend to every corner of the home, creating brighter interior spaces and allowing growth and vitality of greenery internally. Externally, instead of a continuous facade treatment, the facade recedes inward at the position of internal sheer walls in order to construct a visual gap between houses, while retaining spatial possibilities for chance encounters between neighboring properties – creating a home environment where “inside as outside, outside as inside”.
09 May.2019 Dai Kim house (4x14m), as most of the street houses in Vietnam, the solution of natural light and ventilation We hope to create a rhythm and flexible space, where people can live in harmony with the sun, natural wind and trees by the closest way in this small plot of land. Deviated floor solution is designed to blur the boundary between the top and the bottom, which creates a continuous connection and eliminates the sense of multi-floors (5 floors). We take advantage of the stairwell space when the floor landing is designed to be the hall of the room, creating a sense of privacy. Toilet is distributed flexibly and functional spaces are separated to ensure optimum density. We also consider carefully bringing “nature” to living space. Nearly every location of the house always has at least a corner of the trees that will “soften” the space and make the feeling relaxed and gentle! As a house located in the western direction,...
the concrete 'pentahouse' by wamhouse studio is inspired by the shape of mountains in reference to rocks which make up a mountain-face, concrete has been selected as the structural material. on the elevations, these concrete façades are punctuated by large elements of glazing, bringing in light to the interior and also breaking up the monumental aesthetic of the building. the design of the ‘pentahouse’ is completed by a tailored garden landscape, in which concrete pavements are also partially based on a pentagonal plan. planned by the architect for a single family, the ‘pentahouse’ covers a usable floor area of 6243 ft2 (580 m2), with an additional 1528 ft2 (142 m2) assigned for an underground garage space. the massing of the building is made up of several extruded pentagons of varying sizes, further highlighting the mountain concept as the structure as a whole resembles a range of peaks together. these separate forms provide for differen...
04 May.2019 13 Creative Job will blow for mind #1 . the table support by wooden hippo The Top of the table make by float clear glass 12mm thk. when you look from the tip view, where will be a wooden hippo under the table. what is this animal doing sleeping or what? the artist want to show that it is not sleep or stay on the ground.

Big socket or the door is small? you might think the socket is very big, and it for wall decoration. in fact the stair in this picture, you can't go inside because it is not fit with your size. if look deeper, focus the tile, which is so bigger than stair. so than mean the socket size standard as home used. #3 The dog is sitting on the wood There is a door sitting on the waiting his owner. wait, could you look closely, this a dog but not living dog, it is made by wooden. #...
