This house was built for its primary occupant, an elderly person, and serves as a gathering place for large families almost every weekend. As a result, the focus is on making the house elderly-friendly while providing flexible spaces for family gatherings or guests, all while preserving the occupants' privacy. To achieve this, the house is designed with three main strategies: first, zoning based on materials and colors; second, the flexibility and expansibility of space; and third, a tactile approach to materials throughout the house.
Zoning areas are arranged based on materials and colors to help elderly residents identify spaces and orient themselves in their homes. Several spaces are grouped according to material and color. The three main areas are the living area, bedroom area, and circulation area. The living area features a white semi-textured terrazzo floor, a black marble floor for the circulation space, and a wooden floor for the bedroom area. With the contrasting differences among these three colors and materials, elderly residents can still easily recognize and remember the character of their space as their senses decline. Additionally, the parents' bedroom is positioned at the front due to functional considerations and anticipation of emergency conditions, which is directly connected to the carport or ambulance access.
Zoning is also determined by the space's ability to be flexible and extendable according to various activities, as this house will serve as a gathering place for the extended family. The living room and other public areas are located further inward from the front road and side alleys to connect with the surrounding private garden. The living room opens to the semi-outdoor terrace through folding doors that can be fully opened. The bedroom area is positioned on the outer edge of the site and separated from the living room by a corridor. Thus, the public and private areas maintain a clear boundary to ensure privacy.
In addition to color, texture is a major concern when determining the chosen materials. The various textures aim to recognize and identify the space and stimulate the occupants' senses, and provide the benefits of reflexology. The bedroom area features wood-textured HPL walls, while the family area has a slightly textured terrazzo floor. The surrounding gardens incorporate a combination of gravel and grass. The outer walls consist of cement-textured paint, which is also applied to the prayer room in a terracotta color.
The zoning and material tactile strategies create two main masses of the house, composed of various materials and textures. On the west side of the house, a secondary skin is installed to minimize the direct sunlight entering the room. These three design strategies are intended to create an elderly-friendly home for its inhabitants, enabling them to live comfortably and enhance their quality of life in the future.
