A durable yet playful loft residence is also provided by this house through the white and grey accents, polished concrete floor, custom-built white oak kitchen millwork, and solid surface counters. The floor and some parts of the house wall come in grey, adding a more elegant look to this house interior.
There are 5 modules for this house that used: Living Module and Terrace Module, Bathroom + Kitchen Module, Simple Bedroom Module, Matrimonial Bedroom Module, and in addition to a corridor throughout the front area of the house.
Just like other projects, THAT House is also designed with sustainability as its core. The passive solar gain is optimized into all north-facing windows and all windows in this house are double-glazed. There is no limited glass on the eastern facades and no glazing on western facades. High-performance insulation also can be found anywhere in this house.
The interior still has its continuity of the ceiling due to the use of glass and the strategy of low partitions. This way can create a unitary reading. Besides the wood, this house is also built with SIP panels to generate modular coordination in the construction elements of the house. The combination of the wood and these panels can deliver a comfortable and warm atmosphere inside the house.
This project relies on its geometry, especially for its struggle and strength. All the materials for this project are typical of the area, including the structure and the outdoor finishes of the walls. Due to the need in responding to the requirements, only the glazing incorporates thicknesses and technologies more typical of skyscrapers than for a project of single houses.
The top core of the house is a mezzanine. As a simple pavilion, the building opens in the summertime including the outdoor kitchen under a large roof. It is possible for the flexible outer shell to close the building using wooden shutters in various degrees to the surroundings of the site.
In the past, tenants only bothered to contact their landlord if there was an issue. A landlord only contacted a […]
The natural light also can make the ground floor brighter and lively. A private zone for resting can be found on the upper floor. The owner of this house converts the tiny family room to the walk-in closet. This walk-in closet connecting with the master bedroom, so the owner can get more private spaces as they needed.
All house windows are double-glazed. The mechanical heating and cooling can be reduced with active management of shade and passive ventilation. The large water tanks are buried within the garden and all roof water is captured and reused to water the garden and flush the toilet. The real sustainability of this project comes from working and saving with the original build.
Besides the dark gigantic bookshelves, a dark-themed style in this house interior also comes from other elements such as modern marble tables, black chairs, dark curtains, and even dark frames of the glazed windows. In order to balance this dark theme, the lighting arrangement is also added into the rooms especially in the dining room with the high ceiling.
The strong indoor-outdoor relationship can be created with strategically placed skylights and windows. This relationship allows light to enhance user comfort and filter throughout the modest dwelling. A warm atmosphere also can be inserted into the house spaces with the natural light and provide a brighter feeling to the house interiors.
