About Ro54 Bahay para sa Isang Pamilya

Ang RO54 ay isang bahay para sa isang pamilya na itinayo sa isang gilid ng burol sa Los Angeles. Gumagamit ang bahay ng split-level na layout na may magkakapatong na sahig na nakaayos sa paligid ng isang sentral na espasyo. Ang mga sentral na tulay na hagdanan ay naghahatid ng sikat ng araw at biswal na koneksyon hanggang sa pinakamalalim na antas, na nagpapababa sa pisikal at sikolohikal na distansya sa pagitan ng mga silid. Ang panlabas na balangkas ay ginawa sa pamamagitan ng CNC milling mula sa isang digital na disenyo at sumusunod sa makinis at aerodinamikong hugis ng mga sasakyan. Ang 16 na talampakang cantilever sa ikalawang palapag ay bumubuo ng isang kanopi sa pasukan. Ang mga bukas na floor plan ay nagbibigay-daan sa muling pagsasaayos ng mga kasangkapan.

Design Challenge: How can we minimize the physical and psychological distances between different chambers in a residential assemblage? Most homes are constructed with rooms arranged in either horizontal or vertical layouts, which often lead to partitioning and separation due to privacy or functional requirements. Walls, doors, and other barriers typically divide these spaces.
Research: Our aim for tackling this stoic problem was to reduce the time (Δt) required to access other spaces in the program, physically or psychologically. We looked at the problem on a horizontal plane (xy axis), where we aimed to dissolve all unnecessary divisions. This meant direct visual connection from one space to most other spaces in the house, which shortened the time of accessing information in other parts of the house, therefore reducing its psychological distances.
Inspiration: The design vocabulary was informed by streamline automotive aesthetics, proposing every technology in the house to have exponent performance discreetly, allowing the architectural space to deliver a sensory performance.
Project Duration: 07/2017-06/2022

Operation Flow: The project itself provided for an inclusive engagement with its surrounding space by means of large open spaces and utilization of the ideals of transparency for honest integration into its surrounding community. There is little to hide and what belongs to the house belongs to the neighborhood and conversely, what belongs to the neighborhood is brought into the house. The architecture in turn demands a change of attitude from its occupants towards the community, to be open and to be known.
