Nest Residence by Fang Wei

Home > Winners > #154169




DESIGN DETAILS
DESIGN NAME:
Nest

PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Residence

INSPIRATION:
As a resting place for an old couple who retired in Taipei and returned to their hometown, Yilan. The design not only meets the owner's desire for the use of local materials as a jewelry designer, but also integrates the owner's desire for the childhood residence with black tile sloping roof, red brick wall, and overlooking Kueishantao Island. Moreover, the design method is applied to transform the required prayer room and let this be a warm light guiding the field.

UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
For the home of the owner and his wife, the designer takes the concept of swallows' return to the nest as the concept, integrates the owner's preference for the black tile slanted roof, and adopts the two misplaced slanted roof volumes, which resemble the wings of the swallows, as a personal residence for the two sons of the owner.

OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
In addition to extending the outdoor paddy field landscape into the interior, the designer also creates multi level skylights and patios in the building, such as the patio above balcony, as well as the skylights above the attic and the hall of the gods, etc., to create a sense of interest in the space through perspective displacement, and also let the bright sunlight of Lanyang naturally flow into such quiet residence.

PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION:
The project started in 2015 and finished in July 2018 in Yilan.

FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY:
Architecture, Building and Structure Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY:
In terms of the material, the designer makes the roof tile of Yilan's unique seven cent stone integrated with environmentally friendly recycled glass, so that the black and white roof gives out charming luster in dark night and becomes a bright light in wide field.

SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES:
Not only is it located between fields, the designer also tries to extend the winding field path, irrigation ditch, and the rolling mountain in the distance into interior space. To this end, the designer designed a curved winding staircase in the living room, which is suspended from the ground, and a dog walking path for both sitting and laying down, as well as the stair landing that depends on the fluctuation of gable wall, and the attic space that is shaped by folding plate, etc., so that the indoor activities of homeowners are also full of fun and change.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
In the field of the owner's hometown, the designer echoes the image of birds returning to their nests through a unique spatial structure, and also makes the god hall with warm yellow halo, like a lighthouse in the ocean, guiding the direction for the owner's son who comes home to visit his parents. The project becomes a home in the field of strong enclosure, which not only integrates into the natural environment, but also emits unique temperament.

CHALLENGE:
It is located on the coast of Zhuangwei and the geology has the suspicion of soil liquefication, so the designer must pay special attention to the material and structure when designing the project, so as to overcome the corrosion of sea water and stabilize the foundation structure of the house. On the other side, the roof, which flutters like a bird's wings, also tests the delicate technique of grouting to avoid water leakage in the future.
