Incorporating passive design principles at its core, Breeze House is an intermediate terrace that prioritizes natural daylighting, ventilation, comfort and contemporary living for its users.
Nature is invited into the house through provision of a 1.2m width void for the site’s entire length. The void opens up as ‘breezeway’ for prevailing NE/ SW monsoon winds and rain, ensuring all interior spaces are breezy and well-ventilated. Water features, courtyards, balconies and greenery are located within this breezeway.
The breezeway regulates microclimate of interiors, infusing all interior spaces with diffuse daylighting. Water feature reduce ambient temperature through evaporative cooling. The soothing sound of flowing water also gives a sense of respite for users.
An unconventional layout of having open plan living, dining and kitchen spaces on 2nd storey was implemented to take advantage of the site’s advantageous view to surrounding. The overall design weaves together interior living spaces with semi-outdoor spaces and greenery to establish a harmonious living experience with the environment.
Locations of fenestrations are carefully planned to frame views of surrounding landscape. One enjoys spectacular views of surrounding lush greenery as he ascends/descends the staircase. The breezeway also adds much intangible value to the quality of the spaces. One can intimately sense subtle changes in the weather and the void creates interesting visual connections across storeys for users.
The façade design is kept purposeful and understated. A sloping roof extends from Attic to lower storey. This was intended to reduce the overall building bulk. Metal sheet was chosen as façade cladding as Owner himself is a Roofing Specialist, thereby expressing his unique expertise.
Mark 12 Architects designed a series of intricate motorized sun-shading screens on façade to allow greater climatic control for users by diminishing daylight intensity and enhancing privacy. During dusk, the house emits a soft warm glow through the façade screens, akin to a lantern in the neighbourhood.
