About Green Generations Residential Space
Green Generations is a residential interior design for a house of 595 square meters in Changhua County, Taiwan. The design follows eco-friendly and sustainable green building ideas, adapted to a subtropical climate. Vertically moving equipment is placed at the center of the house, and the layout is reorganized around it to connect the spaces and to serve elderly residents. Rooms for the elderly are set close to this equipment, and indoor steps and bathroom thresholds are lowered. Raised ceilings, added windows and extended eaves support ventilation, daylight and shade.

- Production Technology
- Raise the height of ceiling to facilitate ventilation, allowing the heat indoor going out from the windows. In addition, the eaves are extended to prevent excessive sunshine. To solve the problem of insufficient daylighting, add windows to introduce daylight and facilitate ventilation and temperature adjustment.
- Design Challenge
- Eco-friendly green building materials and recyclable materials such as iron and wood are used. Besides, apply crystallization treatment and water-repellent treatment to stone materials to increase the durability and stain resistance ability.
- Project Duration
- The project finished in December 2020 in Changhua County, Taiwan.
- Operation Flow
- Install vertically moving equipment and reorganize the layout of the space after topology research. The equipment is installed in the middle of the house, which strengthen the connection of the space and is convenient for the elderly to use. Considering the needs of the elderly, the room for them is arranged closest to the moving equipment, and the height of indoor steps and threshold of bathroom is reduced.
- Research
- In terms of ventilation and energy saving design, active and passive air-conditioning methods are adopted. In hot Summer, the extended eaves can provide a sunshade for interior spaces, and the residents can actively adjust the temperature of a single room with air-conditioning equipment. In cool and pleasant Spring, Fall and Winter, the passive temperature adjustment method is adopted. The indoor and outdoor air circulation helps adjust the room temperature, improve air quality and save energy.
- Inspiration
- This project is planned and designed with the concept of eco-friendly and sustainable green building, and improved according to the characteristics of subtropical climate.
