Steel structure with Exterior panel finish
Exterior paint is using special coating called LOTAS, made with century-old reservoir sludge, for sustainable construction material.

Design Challenge

The project address creative challenge of developing sustainable dwelling in southern part of Taiwan, which has harsh sun exposure with high temperature. The volume of building is examined with solar exposure calculation software to articulate window openings for balancing interior illumination from natural light.

Research

The initial study of architectural volume started with physical model to choose the best proportion of building. After determining the volume, the digital model is used to fine tune the details of building. Finally, the window opening are designed based on the solar exposure modeling, and also visualization of the interior spaces.

Inspiration

The architectural design draws inspiration from the passive design approach to articulate the surrounding environment. The white façade matches the green field around the site and reduces the heat gain from strong direct sunlight.

Project Duration

The project started in December 2016 in Taipei and finished in 2020 March in Tainan.

Operation Flow

There are three separate functions of the space. One is public space shared with parents and young couple, while the others are for each family to have their privacy. The second floor of two story building is for the young couple, while the other single story volume belong to the parents. The entrance, living space, and the kitchen dining are located on first floor.
