| DESIGN NAME: Loong Palace Walking in the Moonlight PRIMARY FUNCTION: Residential Building INSPIRATION: In the Chinese paradigm of living, first there should be a wall, then a building. The concept of home is a world demarcated by walls. In order for it to accommodate the heart and soul of a resident, it should be a world of its own with heaven, earth and landscape. A space that brings peace to the mind is then called home. This is where the design draws inspiration to render a space of all these elements, such as the walls, the house and the yards, which is the core of home. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Horizontally there are two layers of enclosure to add on the spatial experience of the resident while creating more daily interactions with the building. The C-shaped layout enclosing the central courtyard, which is the core of family life. The building itself is also surrounded by the courtyards enclosed by the wall, forming three yards in the front, in the back and on the side respectively. The overall layout isolates the residence from the environment and ensures circulation and connection. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Vertically it consists of four floors. The first floor and the basement floor, which are conventionally separated, interlock with each other. The sunken backyard and the partially sunken front yard work together to channel air and sunshine into the basement floor which, together with the first floor, forms the main living space. Culture is well incorporated into architecture through the design. For example, the ritual, order and succession in a family is symbolized by the arrangement of entrance such as the gate to the courtyard and doors into the building. Decoration-wise, elements combining Confucian and Taoist ideas are sculpted on the sunny side and dark side of the building as a part of its cultural decoration.
