Design Challenge
The concept of big mountain is the main spindle of design in this case. The streak of eaves is similar to the ridge which has ups and downs. To hang the large span ranges of roof plank on the wall is a big challenge for us. Another big challenge for us is to stay the large area of glasses without causing the global warming.
Research
We use the design of raft foundation and S.R.C structural design. In the part of earthquake assessment reports, we make the level 8 earthquake-resistance numbers. We use a large number of Lo-e glass to beautify the appearance and have the effect of environment protection. In the aspect of landscape, we deliberately heighten the building and the fence to create the waterscape. It can not only maintenance the privacy but also have function of reducing temperatures. This case is a perfect combination of aesthetics and environment protection.
Inspiration
Facing Mt. Ali, the establishment is built and designed under the philosophy of mountains. The outlook of the villa is an imitation of crest lines, and several materials are used as metaphors of natural images like mountains, wind, trees, and clouds. The French casements allow you to appreciate the beautiful scenery of Mt. Ali in any season of the year. Low-e glass is adapted to all the glass, making sure it is environmentally friendly and avoids western exposure to the sun.
Project Duration
The project design started in May 2015 in Chiayi City, finished in June 2016.And built from June 2016 to June 2018 December.
Operation Flow
By furnishing in deign. It makes outdoor environment be viewing and creates a relaxed place even in the corner. Using the glass material to separate living and sleeping area not only extend the vision but keep the privacy. It also possess a great sleeping quality without interference with the theme of neutral tonality. The special points for this opus are cabinets designed by containing exhibit and storage ability which can exhibit the collectable. Thoughtful design for collection room can be used to storage and exhibit.
