The Mountain Residential House

The exterior of building imitates the mountain ridge and uses the different materials to express the image of mountain, wind, tree and sea of cloud, and so on. Without too much decoration, using the natural stone to create the majestic visual effect.

Facing Mt. Ali, the establishment is built and designed under the philosophy of mountains. The outlook of the villa is used crest lines and vary materials to metaphor natural images like mountains, wind, trees, and clouds.

Because of winning this award, I will be better able to use my own knowledge to come back to social, and pass my experience on people who endeavor in the field of design.

In this project, the majestic landscape of Alishan is the core of inspiration for the design. We hope that the building is not only a simple living space, but also an expression of harmonious symbiosis with the natural landscape. Using mountain dwellings as a metaphor for Alishan architecture, we deliberately emphasize the architectural form It captures the ups and downs of the mountains and uses natural images to guide the design concept. It attempts to incorporate elements such as mountains, wind, trees, and clouds into the building, making the building itself a part of nature.During the specific design process, we chose to imitate the appearance of a ridgeline, making the outline of the building undulate like a mountain, creating a sense of hierarchy, and used a variety of natural materials to symbolize the natural landscape. For example, the main wall is made of Different depths of natural stone add richness of texture and color, making it more vital and creating a deep connection with the Alishan landscape.The design of French casement windows provides residents with mountain views in all seasons, and Low-e glass is selected to reduce the entry of solar heat, maintain a comfortable indoor temperature, and meet environmental protection requirements. At the same time, the application of glass in the space is also cleverly arranged. : Through the separation of transparent materials, we expanded the view of the living area and sleeping area, creating a sense of openness but still retaining privacy.This way of integrating the concept of mountains into the architectural design makes every corner full of nature, especially the dining area, where the custom-made wooden tables and the rich application of stone make the space atmosphere natural and simple. Our design not only pays attention to the beauty and function of the space, but also creates an emotional connection between the residents and the natural landscape. Every detail reflects the concept of harmonious coexistence with nature, making the building like a part of Alishan, vividly integrated into the mountain forest, giving residents a peaceful and comfortable living experience.

In this mountain residential project, the commitment to environmental sustainability comes mainly from a deep respect for and awareness of the protection of the natural landscape. Alishan’s majestic scenery and rich ecosystem are the most precious resources in themselves, so we wanted the building to coexist harmoniously with the natural environment rather than burden it. The choice of low-emissivity (Low-e) glass is to achieve this goal. It can effectively reduce heat transfer inside the building, reduce air conditioning and energy consumption, and ensure that residents enjoy indoor comfort in different seasons.This material also protects the health of residents, reduces direct exposure to western sunlight, and allows natural light to flow softly into the space, achieving a bright and warm effect without bringing too much heat energy. In addition, the transparency of low-emissivity glass also ensures the integrity of the field of view, allowing residents to enjoy the changing scenery of Alishan at any time, thus enhancing their connection with nature.Through such material selection, we not only want to achieve the energy-saving effect of the building, but also hope to convey a sustainable lifestyle to the residents. This is not only an environmental consideration, but also a commitment to the future. We believe that allowing residents to live in such an environment will not only feel comfortable and beautiful, but also cultivate a care and protection for nature. This is our in-depth understanding and practice of sustainable design concepts.

In this design project, we used the natural stone wall as the core element to introduce the natural beauty of Alishan. It not only serves as a visual connection, but also profoundly expresses the harmonious symbiosis between architecture and nature. The design of the stone wall is inspired by the majestic ridge of Alishan. Lines and layers of mountains, from material selection to detail presentation, we use multi-layered natural stone to give the wall a rich variety of shades, just like the natural texture of the mountain, making it an important focus in the living space.Technically, in order to achieve the stability and beauty of the stone wall, the team is particularly meticulous in the selection and arrangement of the stone. Through precise installation processes, we ensure that the texture and color of each stone achieve the ideal effect, so that it will Different visual levels are shown in the changes of light and shadow. Structurally, in order to ensure the load-bearing capacity of the wall, we chose the SRC structure, which not only improves the earthquake resistance, but also makes the wall stronger and more durable.Artistically, we hope that this stone wall can capture the magnificence and depth of Alishan’s natural landscape, so that residents can feel the natural atmosphere of Alishan indoors. Careful lighting design allows the stone to display different atmospheres as the light changes, making the entire space attractive during the day and night. This not only adds to the artistry of the space, but also satisfies the residents’ desire for natural emotions.
