Located in an urban compound with little landscape, JM House originated from the desire to be close to nature. We approached the design using modern architectural languages and natural materials to echo the mountain landscape. The program placed emphasis to the balconies on different levels to provide diverse and soothing façade, while green bricks and wooden panels bring the program one step closer to resemble nature. Not only do the tall wooden panels reminds viewers of landscape, it also offers visual protection from surrounding buildings, allowing a discreet glance for those looking in from the outside while the residents enjoy the views.

We expected one to perceive the building as calming and relaxing, conveying a peaceful and unhurried ambiance to those who stroll past on the street. The layering of materials in a modern and minimal design approach elevated the exterior spaces to have more variety and potential to be explored on. To those who reside here, JM House is a residential building block consisted of multiple families living in independent units, yet when the building is viewed from afar, JM House appeared to be a singular unit.

The architectural design language extends beyond façade and is closely followed by the interior. The program employed ‘void’ (wooden panel) and ‘fill’ (green brick) elements to connect interior and façade. As the fundamental structure of the building, green brick walls provided a place of seclusion and retreat, whereas the balcony areas framed by wooden panels functioned as an extension of interior space, preserving natural light as it secures resident privacy.
