About Pure Realm Ynterieurûntwerp foar Wenten

Pure Realm is in wenning ûntwurpen foar it gearlibjen fan minsken en húsdieren. It hûs fan 446,28 fjouwerkante meter ûntjout him om in sintrale binnenhôf hinne dêr't in hûn feilich omrinne kin. Aparte foar- en efterfolumes skiede de sirkulaasje fan gasten en famylje, wêrmei't privacy en iepenheid yn lykwicht brocht wurde. In wenkeamer mei dûbele hichte en rombeglazing bringt deiljocht binnen en ferminderet de needsaak foar keunstljocht. In spiraaltrep foarmet de fertikale kearn, en oerdekte kuierpaden ferbine it parkeargebiet mei de wenning. In stielen konstruksje, rysdoppen en mineraalbasearre coatings ferleegje de koalstoffuotprint.

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: -Steel structure: integrated with the atrium to frame a courtyard of natural symbiosis.
-Connecting walkway: links the parking area to the main residence, reducing inconvenience on rainy days.
-Double-height living room: expansive glazing introduces abundant daylight and creates vertical visual continuity.
-Spiral staircase: adds a sense of play and layered movement.
Dimensions & Packaging: The project is 446.28 square meter.
Tags: Open layout, Natural materials, Wabi-sabi, Barrier-free flooring, Pet-friendly
Production Technology: -Steel structure: more recyclable and reusable than traditional reinforced concrete.
-Natural lighting: double-height spaces and expansive windows reduce the need for daytime artificial light.
-Low-processed materials: rice husk and mineral-based coatings lower the project’s carbon footprint.
Design Challenge: Set on a lakeside plot with an irregular shape and a high proportion of unusable corners, the design faced challenges including:
-Designing circulation and road access
-Configuring building massing and setbacks
-Orienting windows while meeting regulatory constraints
Research: Due to the unusual shape of the site and its lakefront location, the project has a high proportion of uneven land. Planning challenges included overcoming access routes and road design issues. Furthermore, the key design challenges were to rationally allocate building massing, window orientations, and regulatory constraints.
With the goal of creating a coexistent space for pets and people, the design sought a safe and open atrium where the dog could roam freely, balancing convenience and privacy. Furthermore, the design sought a clearly defined public and private area within the home, allowing for a natural flow between entertaining friends and daily life without interfering with each other.
Inspiration: This project is built on the core idea of coexistence between pets and people. The homeowner envisioned a safe, open courtyard where pet dogs could roam freely while privacy and everyday convenience were equally preserved. The space was designed to clearly distinguish between public and private domains, allowing daily living and social gatherings to flow naturally while remaining independent.
Project Duration: The project finished in November 2025 in Taoyuan, Taiwan.
Operation Flow: The architectural massing unfolds around a central courtyard, creating a surrounding layout. The front and rear volumes are separated, dividing domestic and guest circulation to create a buffer between privacy and openness. A double-height atrium and staircase form the vertical core, while covered walkways connect indoor and outdoor spaces, ensuring sheltered movement in all weather. With its clean, minimalist vocabulary, the design shapes a modern dwelling for coexistence.
-Privacy and circulation: a single primary axis separates guest access from family use.
-Massing configuration: setbacks and offsets allow flexible site utilization.
