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,...
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...
