The surrounding context had a significant impact on the architecture's design, particularly the magnificent lake at the site's end, and it was also a source of inspiration for the designer in terms of building concept.

User : There are two owners, a couple without children, two Corgi dogs, one housekeeper, and one driver who are like family.
Function : The main project consists of two buildings:
1. A house
2. A Psychotherapy Clinic (1 guest ) and a service zone

Design Concept

THE HARMONY OF SPACE AND LANDSCAPE
Designed to harmoniously integrate Landscape into each element of the room, taking into mind the perspective and light of each space's function, for example:

WELCOME COURT, The Psychotherapy Clinic's exterior entry was designed as a welcome court in the style of a painting art frame.

WATERFALL COURT, A private garden area was included in each treatment room. A waterfall was presented to help the mind relax. Furthermore, a wall surrounded the garden to ensure seclusion and prevent the area from being disturbed by the outside environment.

SKY COURT, On the second floor, this area was provided in the Master bathroom. By displaying the sky, natural light will be accessible to reach all spaces. At the same time, users retain privacy because there was a surrounded barrier between the space and the outside environment.

BETWEEN COURT. The arrangement of the landscape space between the two buildings does not concern privacy between them much as the clinic is run solely by the owner. As a result, each room are not being used at the same time, and the landscape was designed as a shared garden between the buildings. When all the curtains are open, the dining room and food preparation area of the living room and the waiting room of the clinic will see the landscape together, and the eating area is a 2-layer glass high transparent. Users can also see through to the lake in the back from the clinic's waiting area.

CREATING ACCESS SEQUENCES IN EACH AREA
The design generated "perception" that is connected to the users' "emotions." It's similar to reading a book that gradually unveils the tale chapter by chapter, increasing the excitement till the finish.

SURPRISE SPACE, The design was focused with privacy, views, and distance, all of which are related to perception and feeling. Furthermore, light and shade would modify the area depending on the time of day in the morning, afternoon, evening, and night.

The clinic: The Psychotherapy Clinic was placed in the front so that it could be accessed first and that the residents' privacy would not be violated. The residence has its own parking lot. Furthermore, the BUILDING FORM, which is a simple slab roof, is designed to not suppress the house and to be unseen from the outside in order to establish a series of patient privacy.

When entering the clinic building, visitors will notice that it went to great lengths to make visitors feel at ease, gradually revealing the landscape that is arranged like a beautiful frame. Then having to turn around to get back to the building's entrance. When people enter the building, they will notice that the space is compact and that the entrance and waiting hall ceilings are low (Ceiling Height 2.35 meters) to create a "surprise space" when they later enter the treatment room, by offering a 3.30 meter ceiling height with a waterfall and a garden setting to create an atmosphere.

The house: The interior of the house will not be seen from the outside. Also, the visitors can't see the entrance door. They must get access from the side by gently walking along the building's side until they reach the end, which reveals a lake vista. Then the visitor turned the entrance door to see the side instead. Then slowly turn around and proceed till you reach the Living& Dining area, which is an open room with double space that open to the lake panorama view, which is the climax.

WHITE ARCHITECTURE: A CONTEXTUAL REPRESENTATION OF PURITY

White Architecture: Symbolizes purity, dreams, and the beginning of life, which satisfies the needs of the owner who wants this house to be like their first home, where they may start their married life and stay together for the rest of their lives.

White Color: Shows the best quality of light falling on space, as well as the architectural concept. In the meanwhile, it may clearly communicate transparency, space, structure, and material textures all at the same time. The white building stands out against the greenery. It's similar to painting art that also serves as a better representation of the landscape.

SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE
It was created with sustainability in mind, with a focus on comfort and durability.

COMFORT, The residential structure is situated such that it receives the wind from the south and has a panoramic view of the lake without the use of air conditioning. The space is shady because the second-floor balcony (which is only utilized at night) acts as a canopy, allowing the sun to be shaded from the south all day. The house's roof is also sloped to shade the second story and allow rainfall to drain swiftly.

The building is white. As a result, flashing aluminum detailing was designed on the concrete roof edge to prevent dust from falling from the roof and making the building unclean and unsightly afterwards.
