This house was created by fixing the positions of various rooms in the house. Therefore unable to adjust freely. and due to the limitations of the planning itself The shape of the house is square and solid. The solution to the problem that arises is How to make this house look as airy as possible? While still maintaining the layout of the various rooms. For this reason, the ground floor was chosen to have sliding glass doors to make it look like the second floor was separated from the lower part. Reduce the thickness of building blocks. And also the view of the residents of the house in the living room and dining area on the ground floor.
And because the orientation of the house is affected by the direction of sunlight at every moment. This makes it impossible to overlook the issue of heat. and too much sunlight coming in Therefore, it is a matter to consider later as well. For this reason, we chose to put in the awning part that sticks out to help block the sunlight more effectively. Which makes it even better to reduce the opaque language of the house.
On the second floor, consideration was given to the sunlight that would enter the bedroom area as well. But wanted to create a language of the facade that was completely different from the ground floor, so they chose to use slats in the glass section for viewing the outside view. Solid walls and artificial wood walls will be used to cover the room that needs to be a private space.
The top part of the house uses a roof top with ventilation holes under the roof. To help reduce heat accumulated in the ceiling. Each window opening is designed to look like another layer of window covering to prevent the house from appearing flat. Helps protect from sun and rain well.
