The Design

About Nest Within Spatium Habitandum

"Nidus Intus" domum denuo excogitat, communia spatia dilatans dum privatorum cubiculorum area minuitur. Circa vitam familiarem descripta, domus adhibet lucida vitri saepimenta quae visualem coniunctionem permittunt cum tenui tantum separationis sensu. Usus naturalium materiarum, qualis est Shirasu Kabe, commoditatem internam et sustentabilitatem auget. Denique, haec architectura plus est quam mera domus; est sacrarium dedicatum, ad cotidianam coniunctionem, communia ritus, et profundam animi consonantiam fabricatum.

Unique Properties: Nest Within transforms the home by expanding shared spaces and reducing private rooms. Designed around family life, glass partitions allow connection with subtle separation. Natural materials like Shirasu kabe boost comfort and sustainability. It’s more than a house, it’s a space for daily bonding and shared rituals.
Dimensions & Packaging: The project is 132 square meter.
Tags: Residential, Interior Design, Space, Home, Family Interaction
Production Technology: The design is based on the homeowners’ daily habits to enhance family interaction in shared spaces. Thoughtful circulation planning encourages natural connection. Natural materials regulate humidity, promoting sustainability and energy efficiency.
Design Challenge: The key challenge was redesigning private rooms into open, shared spaces. Balancing family interaction and privacy, using natural materials like Shirasu kabe, and optimizing space and ventilation required innovation.
Research: This project employs natural, eco-friendly materials sourced from Japan, prominently featuring Shirasu kabe plaster, a natural volcanic ash material known for its superior humidity regulation. By absorbing and releasing moisture, it maintains balanced indoor humidity levels while purifying the air by neutralizing odors and harmful substances. Paired with an optimized natural ventilation system, the design effectively stabilizes indoor temperatures, enhancing occupant comfort and aligning with sustainable, energy-efficient design principles.
Inspiration: Traditional homes often emphasize private spaces, creating separation rather than connection. Nest Within reverses this by opening private zones to foster a fluid, interactive family environment. The design focuses on shared living, softening boundaries to encourage togetherness through openness and visibility.
Project Duration: The project finished in June 2024 in New Taipei City, Taiwan.
Operation Flow: Nest Within reshapes traditional residential flow by prioritizing shared spaces that encourage natural family interactions throughout daily routines. The layout minimizes isolated private rooms, instead promoting openness via glass partitions. Circulation paths are designed to facilitate ease of movement and spontaneous encounters, fostering a warm and interactive home environment where family members remain connected even during individual activities.
