The existing house was dark and poor cross ventilation. Therefore we propose a new concept to have large windows, but at the same time filtering the heat from the sun. The stairs acts as an airwell with a skylight and ventilation vents.Thus improving the air circulation in the house keeping it constantly cool. The screen on the external facade not only acts as shade from the sun but also giving privacy for the user as the neighbouring houses are built closely to each other.
Renaissance's strategy is to study various requirements of the client. Through negotiating the conflicting requirements of site, climate, technologies and various consultants, a "concept" is produced that incoporates all these requirements. These concepts are then used to develop the design at all levels and scales, creating a design language unique for the project. We do not propose a particular style as they limit options available, and stiffle exploration. Renaissance believes good design is produced from careful study and research, combined with technical knowledge and artistic judgement. Attention to detail, proportions and scale, together with common sense ensures the finished project fully develops within the concept. Today, modern Asian houses have evolved as a response to the increasingly tight suburban lots and the need to use the fronts, rear and side setback as "viewing courts". The courts allow a dialogue between the interior & the exterior spaces.
