Since the client is involved in the creation of aboriginal arts and crafts, the initial concept of the spatial characters is hence inspired by the stone slab house and the ecological characteristic, utilized sustainable materials and construction methods to sustain the architecture, while integrating aboriginal cultures and arts elements into the design. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project restores its original beauty, at the same time incorporate recyclable materials to reduce waste and save energy. Open plan layout introduces natural lighting and ventilation, complimented with garden pool landscaping and greeneries to resemble immortality. A wide variety of handicrafts is utilized to reactivate the space and act as a presentation of life style. The project tends to integrate natural ecology with arts and humanities while promoting a healthy lifestyle environment. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The original windows are too small, and the stairs located in the center of the house leads to poor internal ventilation and insufficient natural lighting. After the transformation, the original windows are replaced with glass walls and high-ceiling design and skylights are introduced. The interior staircase that obstructed the spatial connections and circulations is removed and replaced with a more porous, single stringer staircase at the end of the building to allow an open, unobstructed internal layout.

Openings on both the front and rear sides of the building are increase ventilation, while introducing greeneries to regulate microclimate. The reconstruction and design have revolved around the existing building structures which reflect local culture and respond to the surrounding context. The use of raw materials for decorations and recycled waste timber made furniture revitalize the old space. CHALLENGE: The casting of the cement walls is a major challenge during the construction process. As the overall space has to maintain the original appearance of the cement mortar, the casting needs to be completed in very limited time and parts of the wall surface that contain totem design with lines and uneven corners have all increased the difficulty of the application.
