Futurist Architecture

The noise from the high-speed motorway can be reduced by the height of the retaining walls. These walls also can block the strong westward sun and the strong northwest wind from the sea. With the walls, greater privacy can be created for the resident’s everyday life from the public motorway outside the house building.

A compact design of the distinct functions can be found on the first floor. While the larger design on the second floor comes from the facsimile of a slightly pivoted windmill. Some of the communal spaces allow the family to come out and also creating a connection between the house and the outside. Home, neighborhood, and spaces are connected and also become a filter to the climate harshness.

By taking full advantage of the parameters outlined, the house structure is made based on the local building convention. At the top part of the wall-height reinforced concrete foundations, the architect designs a light wood frame rather than pouring a concrete slab as usual. On top of these foundations, the two-storey house sits with a wooden frame.

Su House physically has an open concept to the town with its in-between space and stairs. The design tries to make the town closer to the house than just a building in the middle of the town.

The idea of Shiro House design is different from a building design with small openings and a chance to enjoy the seasons from the sheltered distance. With its small open area, Shiro House can take full advantage of the building structure and also connect with the cityscape and landscape. This house is made to yet expansive and open to feel the changes in the seasons of Narayama.

The architect successes to deliver the project brief to the local government and also gained the approval smoothly. The local government approval is a challenge for this project. The team works together with the client to make sure that everything that the client wants are fulfilled. They also consider the land aspect around the house site.

There is a small rear backyard in Balmain Rock. In this backyard, the client and family can have a fun time to enjoy the outdoors in a simple and easy way. With some small greeneries and simple backyard design, this house can have a minimalist design style in its outdoor area which is perfect for the physical size of the building.

This bungalow has a high ceiling which is perfect for the air circulation, creating fresh air inside the house. The large windows are also designed to allow the natural sunlight comes into the house interior, providing a warm atmosphere during the days. These windows also give beautiful views that can be seen from the kitchen and living area.

From the entrance area, Balmain Pair looks like a truly private house with its high brick front wall. The glass sliding doors allow the warm sunlight to come freely into the house interior. And when night comes, the interior lighting on the upper level can be seen clearly from the outside, creating a beautiful view for everyone who sees it.
