The clever ventilation design allows sunlight to fill the whole house

In the face of the community park, the design focuses on integration with the natural environment. At the same time, due to the lack of ventilation inside the house, natural ventilation needs to be created and light is introduced into the enclosed space.

Therefore, by setting up multiple "intermediate spaces", using the concept of horizontal and vertical courtyards, the whole space is connected and allows it to "flow" freely in various areas of the house.

Replace traditional columns and shear walls with portal frame structures, opening up spaces, reducing horizontal partitions, and increasing integrity and flexibility.

The courtyard is set up to allow light to enter, with wind coming in from the forecourt and atrium on the ground floor and extracting through horizontally swinging windows on the top floor, while driving a vertical flow to the various areas.

The atrium space is appropriately scaled so that the aisle is not only a passageway, but also a comfortable corner where you can stop, read and practice your musical instruments.

The eco-friendly and sustainable timber design not only reduces the impact of foundation excavation on the site, but also increases the overall humidity regulation through the interior timber structure, which is in harmony with the human body. The use of mineral paints and earthen walls, among others, enhances the physical and psychological perception of natural materials.

This case is dedicated to maintainable design to extend the life of the building. Hose water pipes and unit bathrooms are used to reduce pipe leakage problems.

Perfect humidity isolation and termite prevention measures, as well as the installation of access holes, etc., ensure the convenience of long-term use and maintenance in the future.
