Idyllic Manor

The client runs a gravel company in Pingtung. They desired nature and surrounded the building with it because there will be sand and gravel cars passing by so the periphery of the plant has been paved. This also reduces environmental air pollution. Our aim was to create a space full of light, and simultaneously full of subtle connections between the individual fragments of the interior. The outside area can be seen from the building. We have attempted to interconnect the interior with the world around it. To feel the nature of which we are apart. We aim to make objects adapt to local conditions and lightly intervene in nature and use greenery to frame around the building so that it can be integrated and wrapped by nature. We magnify the proportion of the floor-to-ceiling window connecting the interior environment and nature. For the other spaces we create a pleasant living space through scale to embody the relationship among people, the space and nature. The different levels each with a different size and height for different functions are separated from the floor and simply places on the frame to create an impression of lightweight while the air can pass under the stairs. Which also effectively avoids the high indoor temperature in summer and saves energy. The structure is created to be an ecological building, with renewable materials. Of all the materials and construction systems, we choose sustainable options. Such as the insulation, exterior cladding. The client intentionally asked for an environmentally friendly building. So the office and interior etc. was furnished with recovered materials. This project demonstrates that building ecologically and small-scale can go hand in hand with comfort and smart use of space.
