About House of Light Well Desain Interior Hunian

House of Light Well adalah desain interior hunian untuk sebuah rumah deret sepanjang sekitar 30 meter. Bangunan aslinya terbagi menjadi bagian depan dan belakang oleh sebuah sumur cahaya (light well) di tengah. Sumur cahaya tersebut diubah menjadi ruang inti yang menyerupai alun-alun terbuka, dan seluruh ruangan dicapai melaluinya. Tangga terbuka melingkupi sumur cahaya, sementara platform bertingkat menampung area untuk membaca, bekerja, berolahraga, bermain anak, dan hiburan. Sebatang pohon berdiri di bagian tengah. Dinding bata kaca dan teras bertingkat menambah privasi serta meredam kebisingan jalan.

Unique Properties: This is originally a row house for decades, which is attached to one of the row houses in the block. The total length of the row house is about 30 meters. The original building structure is divided into two buildings at the front and back by the light well in the middle. The original light well only served as the function of additional day-lighting, which is surrounded by negative spaces such as stairs and toilets. The front of the row house faces the narrow and dense commercial street, and the backyard is used as the main entrance of the house.
In addition of providing day-lighting, we will let various scenery of the family unfold beside the light well, making the light well a core space like an outdoor square. The original closed staircase is transformed into a light hanging around the light well, and all the access to rooms will pass through the light well. Rich and diverse life scenes at home, such as reading, work, fitness, children's games, audio-visual entertainment, etc., will be arranged around the light well as multi-level platforms. The tree in the center of the light well allows the natural scenery to be presented indoors, and it will also be a spiritual symbol of the family.
We hope to condense the feeling of "home" through the outdoor square-like public space atmosphere. Family members can have their own independent space, and can greet and accompany each other through the light well square.
In terms of appearance treatment, the continuity and integrity of the facade of the entire row houses were considered, and the appearance of the original building facade was maintained as much as possible. The independent glass brick wall was partially added only for privacy. The bedroom space is arranged close to the street side for better day-lighting. Glass bricks and terraces retreating layer by layer buffer the tension with the street, gradually blocking noise and visual interference.
We hope that the transformation of this old house will allow the members living in it to enjoy the freedom of outdoor space at home.
Inspiration: This decades-old row house was originally divided into front and rear sections by a courtyard. We aim to further enhance the diverse landscapes within the homes by extending them alongside the courtyard, turning it into a central space akin to an outdoor plaza.
