About Tomorrow Casa Primary Function: Whare Noho

Ko Tomorrow Casa he whare noho i hoahoatia hei wāhi hapori tiritahi. Ko ngā arawhata whānui e hanga ana i te tomokanga, ā, e whakaatu ana i te āhua tuwhera me te manaaki. Ka hipoki te karaihe i te nuinga o te papa raro, nō reira ka kitea te roto i mua i te tomokanga. Ka karo te papa tuarua i ngā tikanga whakaatu matapihi, nā reira ka pōwhiritia ngā manuhiri kia whai wāhi, kaua ki te titiro anake. I ārahi te aroha ki te taiao i te kaupapa mai i te wāhanga whakamahere tuatahi tae noa ki te otinga. E rapu ana te hoahoa i tētahi kōrero mārire i waenga i te whare me te tāone huri noa i a ia.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

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

Unique Properties: In the aspect of its shape, I use big stairs to take out a more welcomed impression of defense and acceptance. To meet the psychological expectation of "vision before motion", glass has been applied to more than half areas in the first ground. As for the second floor, I tried to avoid the window exhibition design method, since a community space like this living hall should encourage people to participate but to appreciate.
Inspiration: Those buildings located in the downtown are prone to be regarded as the landmarks, such tendency results more and more invasive and environmental unfriendly buildings appear. So from the very beginning of planning this project, I kept 'environmental friendliness' as the original intention and take this core concept throughout the entire design and implementation phase.
