Informed by traditional vernacular house design, the house is planned around a central courtyard as a series of elevated independent spatial forms. This fragmentation challenges the conventional house design where most spaces are within a singular mass with limited cross ventilation, natural lighting, and in-between spaces.
Users of the spaces can enjoy maximum view into the central courtyard of water features and gardens with large, deeply shaded glass windows. The living space is angled and has additional windows with direct viewing into the nearby woods. Each spatial form is different in size and height, responding to the actual space usage and hierarchy.
In addition to the gaps between forms, main spaces like the living area and bedrooms are elevated from the ground to allow for cross ventilation on ground level through the entire house. This acts as a natural strategy to cool down the house in the hot and humid tropics. The freed-up ground allows people to enjoy semi-formal social space in a shaded environment, surrounded by green.
The spatial form's size and configuration follow a set of geometrical guides to create a desired proportion and purity.
Residents reached home, arriving at the driveway and following a journey through the central courtyard garden before ascending the main staircase. A main linkway spine on the first floor then links people back to other living and bedroom spaces.
The design explores curved edges to the spatial form to inject a certain character into the exterior impression and provide a refreshing contrast to the regimental rectilinear forms of surrounding houses. Columns are shaped to become the curvilinear edges between 2 wall planes, eliminating any need for internal columns inside the space.
To achieve an overall consistency and singularity in finishing material, all internal and external wall surfaces are plastered and cement skimmed to a smooth finish, achieving an overall contrasting palette of neutral cement skim surface with glass glazing and sleek structural steel outlook.
Irregular form and imperfection of the cement skim surface express intuitive personal touch, self-build, and organic formation, aligned with the idea of wabi-sabi. Gratitude to both the builder and the client who are open to a more explorative approach to achieve good architecture.
The wabi-sabi concept is further extended through the other interior elements, like the cabinetry, where natural plywood expresses its wood grain. The main staircase is presented in its original form, showcasing the self-supporting steps and side walls. An abundance of natural light penetrating through skylights and large windows accentuates the overall neutrality of the color mixture and the ‘less is more’ feel of the interior. Some of the construction gravel and precast culvert pipes are also elegantly reused as garden pavement and outdoor benches.
