The Design

About Heart By Tree Casa Villa

Heart by Tree é unha casa villa situada en Gunung Pulai, Malaisia. A villa está formada por catro bloques construtivos dispostos arredor dun patio central. O céspede e as plantas de salgueiro cobren os teitos dos dormitorios e melloran o illamento térmico. Transplantáronse dúas altas árbores ancestrais ao terreo como mostra de gratitude cara ao propietario. O cinc e a fibra forman o chasis do teito de céspede, axeitado ao clima cálido. Reutilizáronse na decoración azulexos cerámicos, granito e vidro descartados por fábricas. A distribución segue o concepto tradicional da casa de patio.

Unique Properties: The villa is formed by four blocks of building, surrounding a courtyard. The designer uses lawn or meadow, and willow plant as the roof for the bedrooms, which allows better heat insulation. Apart from these two plant types, the designer also transplanted two iconic tall ancestral trees that signifies and serves as a token of gratitude to the owner’s great contribution to the society.
Dimensions & Packaging: Build up 10000 square feet

Production Technology: We complete the Heart by Tree to minimize construction costs and protect the environment. Due to the hot climate in Malaysia, we use zinc and fiber as the chassis of the lawn roof. In the decoration section, we look for some materials that have been abandoned by the factory, such as ceramic tiles, granite and glass.
Design Challenge: The villa was built on a hill and it rained heavily during the construction, it took three tries for the 5-tonne old tree to be successfully transplanted.
Research: We hope to build a leisure villa house that is unique in Malaysia.
Inspiration: The villa is built for summer weather throughout the year, situated in the humidity of a tropical forest. And hence, the designer is hopeful that the use of plants and ponds will bring in a harmonious blend of temperature, in and around the villa, to substantiate the serenity amidst the hustle and bustle. The layout and design of the villa also provides protection against the wildlife intrusion into the compound. The inception of the villa concept and its design, begins from the courtyard house concept, a unique Chinese architecture characteristic dated back two thousand years ago. The inspiration of the design is the modernization and innovation of traditional Chinese culture, and ultimately to create a cosy environment that brings families together.
Project Duration: The project started in October 2019 in Gunung Pulai and will finish in July 2020.
Operation Flow: From design to build.
Patents: no
