About Peach Blossom Future Villa Primary Function: Txaleta

Book Text: Peach Blossom Future Villa Anjiko (Zhejiang, Txina) mendialdeko paisaia-eremu batean kokatutako familia bakarreko 56 etxeren multzoa da. Diseinuak zeruaren, lurraren eta gizakiaren batasunaren ideiari jarraitzen dio. Txinako zutoin gaineko etxe tradizionalean inspiratuta, txalet bakoitza altzairuzko hiru zutabetan bermatzen da, eta horrek lur malkartsuari egindako aldaketak mugatzen ditu eta itxura arina ematen dio. Beira-horma handiek egiten dute itxitura eta hedadura horizontala azpimarratzen dute, hala non etxeek mendialdeko paisaian flotatzen duten beira-kaxa itxura hartzen baitute. Altzairuak, beirak eta oholez akaberatutako hormigoiak dotoreziaz jasaten dute eguraldia kokalekuan.
