About The Fifth Element 住宅

この住宅は5つの平行する矩形のヴォリュームで構成されている。ガレージ棟とスパ棟は居住ヴォリュームからずらして配置され、外部からの視線を遮るとともに、それぞれエントランス空間とレクリエーション空間のためのコンパクトな領域を形成している。スパはキャンチレバーによって地上に浮かび、ガラス張りによって自然へと開かれている。森に面したファサードには全面窓が設けられ、居住空間に光と風を満たす。テラスの水景装置は、夏の暑さのなかで快適な微気候を生み出す。2層吹き抜けのリビングのタワーは垂直軸を形成し、建築とランドスケープのすべての要素をその軸のもとに統合している。
