House Sz
– an open residence inwards and out –House Sz is
a residence designed for a couple in their thirties.The goal was
to provide a living environment with a rich atmosphere that is open, inwards
and out, through the implementation of two different courtyards.With four
walls set at necessary intervals, the residence is divided into three major
zones – private, public, and “plus alpha” zones –and each of these zones is
segmented into individual spaces and functions using two courtyards and glass walls.
The private zone is divided into the main bedroom, bathroom, courtyard, and
hobby room, with the courtyard serving as a buffer to maintain privacy. The public zone is comprised of the
main room, courtyard, and garage, and extends across the front road to the
foliage of the park. Here, the courtyard serves as an instrument to open the
residence towards the surroundings. Meanwhile, the plus alpha zone through the
centre of the residence, besides being the core circulation route that connects
all the spaces, serves as a gallery with 30-metre wall space. The floor is laid
with concrete slabs and coated with a glossy protective layer, giving the space
a special ambience. It is as if it’s a mysterious cave that leads on and on, or
a passage in Paris that guides people to new discoveries. Thus, we named this
the “passage gallery.”Furthermore,
the roofs of both the private and
public zones slope down towards the inner courtyard, designed so that
the rooms can enjoy as much sky as possible. In particular, for the view of the
trees in the park to the west of the dining room and living room, the garage
roof is careful designed so it is as thin and unobtrusive as possible to
provide the best scenery.The maple
tree in the courtyard will provide different colours for each season, adding to
the residents’ pleasure. So does the residence itself give pleasure? I hope
that it is able to provide nearly as much happiness as nature can bring.
