The Design
About Realm of Clouds Tirahan na Gusali
Ang Realm of Clouds ay isang tirahang gusali na may 11 yunit sa Taichung, Taiwan. Pinagsasama ng disenyo ang arkitektura at pagtatanim, gamit ang multi-tiered na halaman, berdeng facade, at natural na bato. Ang layout ay nag-aalok ng berdeng tanawin, liwanag ng araw, sariwang hangin, at bukas na interior, habang ang mga pribadong daanan at independiyenteng pasukan ay nagbibigay-proteksyon sa privacy. Ang berdeng facade ay nagdaragdag ng natural na insulation at sumusuporta sa biodiversity. Ang pag-ani ng tubig-ulan, enerhiyang-episyenteng ilaw, at cross-ventilation ay nagpapababa ng epekto sa kapaligiran. Gumagamit din ito ng lokal na bato at recycled na kahoy.

- Production Technology
- The project employs sustainable materials, advanced passive cooling techniques, and ecological landscaping. The façade features self-sustaining greenery, providing natural insulation and biodiversity support. The structure incorporates rainwater harvesting, energy-efficient lighting, and optimized cross-ventilation to reduce environmental impact. Locally sourced stone and recycled wood enhance durability and eco-responsibility.
- Design Challenge
- The challenge was to balance nature’s organic fluidity with architectural precision. Constructing a multi-layered green façade required innovative structural solutions, ensuring longevity without compromising aesthetics. Integrating biophilic design, biodiversity, and sustainability while maintaining luxury, privacy, and functional efficiency pushed the boundaries of conventional residential architecture.
- Research
- The design is rooted in biophilic principles, exploring how nature-integrated environments improve mental well-being, air quality, and spatial efficiency. Studies on multi-tiered forestry, microclimates, and material sustainability informed the selection of native plants and energy-efficient systems. Research also guided the project's privacy-focused urban planning, optimizing personal space within a green communal setting.
