Project Description
This project showcases an innovative residential design that blends energy efficiency, natural ventilation, and aesthetic appeal. Located in a rapidly developing area, the house faces significant thermal challenges due to its three-sided exposure to sunlight throughout the day. The design responds thoughtfully with functional zoning, natural ventilation, and strategic green spaces that optimize light and airflow. The elongated site layout integrates interconnected volumes via vertical and horizontal pathways, offering seamless interaction with nature through voids filled with greenery and daylight.
The materials and structural elements further enhance the building's functionality. A 450mm-thick natural slate stone wall provides thermal insulation while lending a robust visual appeal. Folding glass doors on the ground floor create a flexible living space by connecting indoor and outdoor areas. Higher floors employ cantilevered consoles and wooden louvers, providing shade, privacy, and protection from direct sunlight while maintaining openness. This balance of form, function, and sustainability creates a home that is both inviting and energy-conscious.
