Under a Single Roof Canopy | A6 House

With an area of 220m², the house is organized under a single roof, supported by two longitudinal reinforced concrete beams. These beams, supported by four pillars, allow for a separation between the roof and the block, enabling a sense of fluidity and openness in the internal spaces.

The design of the house prioritizes connection with nature, with wide openings that allow views of the garden and pool from the entrance hall. The sparse configuration of the internal spaces creates opportunities for natural lighting and cross ventilation, providing an airy and bright environment.

The central atrium plays a fundamental role in integrating the different environments of the house, absorbing the permeability of the areas and allowing for smooth circulation throughout the space. Additionally, the project seeks to dismantle traditional boundaries between the construction and the lot, incorporating the surrounding landscape as an integral part of the residential experience.

The careful choice of construction materials, such as exposed concrete, miracema stones, and metal panels, contributes to the unique identity of the house, while providing clarity in the perception of architectural elements.

  • The Invisible Order of Daily Life

    This is an old apartment with 40 years of history. The designer rotated the original axis and redesigned the structure in order to integrate the confusing flow line. There was only a single side of light in this space, after the rearrangement, the three sides of light, air and natural were introduced into the space giving the old house a new look. The designer tried to expose the original beams in the open space and colored the lowest beams with grey, which goes with the façade, so as to weaken the protruding beams. Also showing the natural beauty of the original structure within the space. On the other hand, there is no over-decorated design in the bedroom and the other rooms, only using the simple point-line-plan structure and non-chromatic to create a balanced picture. On the flow line planning, the designer integrated the main entrances of five rooms into one hallway. Using spray painting, wallpaper, secret doors, and sliding doors on the aisle space, which used to be confusing at the first place, to hide the appearance but also maintain its function. The design enlarged the space and made it return to the original strength and essence.
