About Absolute Nature Residensiële Binnenshuise Ontwerp

Absolute Nature is 'n residensiële binnenshuise ontwerp vir 'n viervlak-gebou in Pingtung-stad, Taiwan. Die totale oppervlakte is 245 vierkante meter, met inbegrip van 'n buitelugtuin. Die ontwerp is geïnspireer deur die tradisionele klipplaathuis en deur plaaslike inheemse kuns en handwerk. Klein oorspronklike vensters is vervang met glasmure, en dakvensters en hoë plafonne is bygevoeg. Die sentrale trap is verwyder en herbou as 'n enkelstringer-trap aan die einde van die gebou om 'n oop uitleg te vorm. Sement, glas, drifhout, teëls en herwinne hout word gebruik.

Tags: Reformation of old building, aboriginal arts, natural habitat, sustainable design, residential design
Production Technology: Cement, Glass, driftwood, Terracotta tiles, Ceramic Tiles, Metal pieces, Wood crafts
Design Challenge: The casting of the cement walls is a major challenge during the construction process. As the overall space has to maintain the original appearance of the cement mortar, the casting needs to be completed in very limited time and parts of the wall surface that contain totem design with lines and uneven corners have all increased the difficulty of the application.
Research: The facade of the old building is covered with traditional, non porous iron gates and iron windows. Openings on both the front and rear sides of the building are increase ventilation, while introducing greeneries to regulate microclimate. The reconstruction and design have revolved around the existing building structures which reflect local culture and respond to the surrounding context. The use of raw materials for decorations and recycled waste timber made furniture revitalize the old space.
Inspiration: The site is situated in Hengchun Peninsula in Southern Taiwan which is rich in verdant scenery and aboriginal settlement. Since the client is involved in the creation of aboriginal arts and crafts, the initial concept of the spatial characters is hence inspired by the stone slab house and the ecological characteristic, utilized sustainable materials and construction methods to sustain the architecture, while integrating aboriginal cultures and arts elements into the design.
Project Duration: The project is completed in June, 2018 in Pingtung City, Taiwan.
Operation Flow: The original windows are too small, and the stairs located in the center of the house leads to poor internal ventilation and insufficient natural lighting. After the transformation, the original windows are replaced with glass walls and high-ceiling design and skylights are introduced. The interior staircase that obstructed the spatial connections and circulations is removed and replaced with a more porous, single stringer staircase at the end of the building to allow an open, unobstructed internal layout.
