About Mu01 Ганц гэрийн орон сууц

MU01 нь Лос Анжелес хотын Мулхолланд драйвын ойролцоох налуу газарт зориулж төлөвлөгдсөн ганц гэрийн орон сууц юм. 722 хавтгай дөрвөлжин метр талбай бүхий газар дээр байрлах энэ байшин 160 хавтгай дөрвөлжин метр талбайг эзэлж, түүнчлэн 158 хавтгай дөрвөлжин метр талбай бүхий газар доорхи бүтэцтэй. Хоёр хэсэгт хуваагдсан хэлбэр нь толгодын контурыг дагаж, барилгыг намхан профильтэй байлгадаг. Байшинд орох хандалт нь туннелийн тусламжтайгаар хийгддэг бөгөөд энэ нь тээврийн хэрэгслийн замын хэрэгцээг арилгаж, байгалийн байрлалыг хамгаалахад тусалдаг. Уулын дулааны систем болон нарны цахилгаан үүсгүүр самбарууд эрчим хүчээр хангаж, бороо усыг цуглуулж уугуул ургамал ургуулахад ашигладаг.

Unique Properties
Proposed is a 160 m² single-family home with 158 m² subterranean structure on a 722 m² upslope near Mulholland Drive, LA. Emphasizing preserving natural topography, the design integrates a bisected form and tunnel access, blending with the ridge's landscape. This approach maintains aesthetics, eliminating a disruptive driveway, safeguarding the land's beauty.
Dimensions & Packaging
Building size is approximately 28.98M X 17.40M X 4.57M (15M including garage subterranean structure)
Tags
Sustainable dwelling, Natural integration, Ridge preservation, Tunnel access, Eco-friendly design, Geothermal heating, Rainwater harvesting, Native landscaping, Environmental standards
Production Technology
Incorporate advanced construction for the tunnel access and precise placement to protect the escarpment's topography. Use eco-friendly materials like local wood and recycled steel. Integrate geothermal systems for energy efficiency, and promote natural airflow with narrow massing. Install photovoltaic panels for self-sustaining power and implement rainwater harvesting for native landscaping, supporting biodiversity.
Design Challenge
Integrating the dwelling with the ridge's topography while preserving its natural beauty posed challenges. Innovative solutions like a unique tunnel access met strict engineering codes for earthquake safety. Our construction methodology preserved the hillside, ensuring minimal intrusion. Despite hurdles, meticulous planning achieved a harmonious blend of architecture and nature, setting new standards for sustainable housing.
Research
Our focus is on environmentally sustainable housing design. Architects and engineers employ GIS, architectural green software, and other tools for site analysis, landscape integration, and sustainable practices. Through iterative modifications, the resulting design becomes a model for aesthetically pleasing, eco-friendly dwellings that seamlessly blend with the landscape in the modern world.
Inspiration
Natural Harmony: Picture the dwelling nestled into the upslope, its bisected form gently following the contours of the land. A tunnel, almost hidden, offers passage to the low-profile building atop the ridge. The design seamlessly merges with nature, preserving the land's beauty and serenity.
Sustainable Sanctuary: Imagine a home that not only harmonizes with nature but actively contributes to its preservation. Rainwater collected from the building nourishes native plants, creating a lush, biodiverse landscape. Geothermal heating and solar panels provide energy efficiency while minimizing environmental impact.
Ridge Retreat: Envision standing on the ridge, surrounded by panoramic views of the Mulholland Scenic Corridor. The compact, unobtrusive design ensures that the public can continue to enjoy this natural vista. Fauna roam freely, and native flora thrives, creating a sanctuary for both residents and wildlife.
Innovative Integration: Consider the ingenuity of the tunnel access, offering a unique entrance to the dwelling while preserving the ridge's integrity. The design exemplifies thoughtful, sustainable architecture, demonstrating how human habitation can coexist harmoniously with the natural landscape.
Environmental Excellence: Visualize the home as a beacon of environmental stewardship, setting high standards for sustainable living. With all-electric systems, cross-ventilated massing, and photovoltaic electricity, it serves as a model for eco-friendly living in the modern world.
Project Duration
The proposed project consists of a small single family dwelling, on an upslope escarpment protruding from Mulholland Drive towards the Los Angeles basin isolated by a power transmission corridor. The design process started in OCT, 2022 and is currently under review by the design review board and the estimated date of completion is 12/01/2024.
Operation Flow
The house is accessed through a unique tunnel, preserving the landscape. Its design fits naturally into the ridge, with a low-profile structure. This prioritizes public views and allows wildlife to move freely. Rainwater is collected for native plants, and eco-friendly systems like geothermal heating are used, ensuring sustainability.
