Hause B
This is a two generation family accommodation located on a hill in the metropolitan area. The accommodation is wedding parties, located on the west side. We have created a U-shaped volume and a courtyard in the middle, so that it receives enough sunlight from all directions. The external finish is white cement plaster with exposed aggregate finish with coral sand. You experience the continuous flow of space from darkness to light and extends into space beyond.
The gravel garden, which is covered by the volume above, is located in the center of the stairs. It is a semi-external space that connects the street and the courtyard, and from the street the front facade seems to float above it. We consider this space as an “elevated garden” which can be used as a kind of gallery space. On the second floor there is a studio with a ceiling height of 4m. It is soundproofed and equipped with shade screens and a projector screen, so they can enjoy movies and play musical instruments.
By folding the plant into a wide V-shape, they can fully enjoy the urban landscape. the external entrance and first you see the courtyard at eye level. As you ascend the shallow stairs, you will gradually see its entire view. through the “raised garden” into the courtyard and we used a white reflective exterior finish so that the walls emit a diffuse reflection of sunlight into the space. All the rooms of B-House overlook the courtyard and its soft and diffused light gives a sense of openness and relaxation.
