Nest Within reimagines the home by expanding shared communal areas while reducing the footprint of private rooms. Designed around family life, the residence utilizes sleek glass partitions that allow for visual connection with only a subtle sense of separation. The use of natural materials, such as Shirasu Kabe, boosts indoor comfort and sustainability. Ultimately, this architecture is more than just a house; it is a dedicated sanctuary crafted for daily bonding, shared rituals, and deep emotional resonance.

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
