About Utopia Tŷ Preswyl
Y golau naturiol pelydrol yw ffynhonnell ffurf y gofod hwn. Gofod organig, cynhwysol oedd y teimlad yr oedd dylunwyr eisiau ei greu, felly buont hefyd yn cymharu llawer o arferion gofod organig, gan gynnwys lleoliad y lluniadau adeiladu. Roedd y gofod islawr gwreiddiol yn meddiannu hanner yr ardal gyfan, ond roedd y goleuadau presennol yn yr islawr yn caniatáu i'r perchennog wneud rhywfaint o le diwerth allan ohono. Er mwyn gwella cyfradd defnyddio'r gofod tanddaearol cyfan a chynyddu'r goleuadau, mae'r dylunydd am greu adeiladwaith newydd sbon o amgylch y golau dan do.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- As a narrow north-south facing townhouse, the original building has 4 floors, 2 above ground and 2 below (the basement has a height of 5.5m and can be divided into 2 floors with only a small patio to provide light). Facing south as the main direction of light, it relies on a stairwell to connect the various floors and comes with a lift. After observing the site and realizing that no well landscape was around the site, we decided to make an Inward facing construction within it.

- Production Technology
- The curved wall and the laminated cast-in-place revolving staircase were a very big challenge for this project in terms of landing. First of all, the curved wall is an irregular shape, and the boundary of each floor has different positioning dimensions. In order to keep the errors to a minimum, the builder used ropes to locate the 2 layers connected to the basement at multiple points while positioning according to the drawings, just to ensure the coherence of the curved walls.
For the construction drawings, we refer to the positioning method of Toyo Ito’s construction drawings, the contour grid positioning method. - Design Challenge
- Guiding the constructor to land our project, and connecting with the structure and electromechanical team, both are hard nuts for us to crack. There are many first attempts for us, also for our constructor.
- Research
- We focus on the impact of light on the residential environment, taking sunlight as a case study, by observation of the duration and direction of sunlight at the winter and summer solstices.
- Inspiration
- The radiant natural light is the source of the form of this space. An organic, inclusive space was the feeling we wanted to create, so we also compared a lot of organic space practices, including the positioning of the construction drawings.
- Project Duration
- The project started on October 17th 2020 and finished on August 1st 2021 in Zhengzhou, China.
- Operation Flow
- In terms of functional distribution, we clearly divide the functional areas of each floor, which are both independent and well-connected.
The 1st floor and the 2nd floor underground are the main floors for daily access, serving as public spaces, while the relatively independent 2nd floor serves as residential spaces. Owners also have the need for daily gatherings, so we try to make each functional area larger.The staircase has been redesigned to provide a more comfortable connection of traffic flow between the functional areas on each level. - Patents
