DESIGN NAME: Forest and Greenery
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Private House
INSPIRATION: Create an oasis in the city, bringing nature into everyday life to release the busy urban life.
The plant wall resembles a vertical forest, which is the focal point of all indoor areas adjoining the embedded block.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A space (L:9m*W:3m*H:6m; also referred to as "embedded block"), built from the east side, is renovated as the new entrance and the spiral staircase leading to the second floor. This renovation turns the space into the hub of circulation and makes the indoor space more spacious and flexible.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The space for 1st/2nd stairwell adjoins the open-space collection area and the steel structure. Sky windows are built on top of the entrance so that natural light shines through the windows. Another focal layer is formed by the plant wall, pool and grassland in the back yard, indoor water plant tank, and stone walls. This focal layer extends the visual scope and magnifies the space. This area, the public area for entertaining guests, is surrounded by greenery which creates an atmosphere suitable for comfortable living for the retirees.
