Production Technology

While the pursuit of simplification allows for a mutual symbiosis of light, view, and space, such that the resident is no longer restricted to the indoor spatial sentiment, but the seasonal changes are further introduced indoors as well.Since the lounge was raised to 8m high formerly, there exists an inclination within the space with narrow and high ratio, the intermediate space is expanded to alter the height of the lounge, allowing the air conditioner to be utilized effectively, and the space is used as a study and lounge, however, the space does not make one feel crowded even though it is narrow and small, instead, it feels comfortable and relaxing.

Design Challenge

It emphasizes the indoors and the outdoors being one, using green constructional materials as the main materials so as to keep in mind the core values of environmental protection and energy-saving.

Project Duration

The project started in January 2014, finished in June 2015. Locates in Taipei City, Taiwan.

Operation Flow

In the aspect of space, in order to surmount the transparency of the area and the possibility of multi-directional views, horizontal and vertical lines are applied to accomplish the connection between the raised area with the various floors, yet still give out a distinct spatial sentiment.

Research

Since the house is old and the building was in a longitudinal shape, connection with the expansion was a great challenge. The staircase in the house ingeniously separates the lounge and the dining room into two sections. For this, we have utilized French windows and flooring to demonstrate a consistency on top of increasing the connection between the space; the courtyard also adopted French windows to enhance visual transparency, while the original wooden stair handrail is replaced with glass to lighten the volume of the staircase, thereby relocating the visual focus to the rest area.

Inspiration

More and more people are making contributions and placing more emphasis on the rising awareness of environmental protection during recent years; it is not impossible to actualize environmental protection, as long as you place more effort in life, keep in mind the grace provided by the earth, and you may save tears for the earth even by just bringing along your own dining ware and water bottle.
