Comfort in Context
Chain10 Architecture & Interior Design Institute
Project description
Due to the location of the residence, there are many wild animals, plants, and insects. We wanted to go further with its connection to the environment. What I could do was minimize the effect of the internal physical lighting. This lighting has been positioned in such a way that it doesn’t disturb the habitats in the area. The building windows are aligned in a north-south direction to allow the air to circulate while obtaining indoor light. The east-west building facade follows a suspended shape to increase the shaded coverage and avoid direct sunlight. The exterior of the building is made of breathable and environmentally friendly paint with galvanized steel. By reducing the cost of construction we managed to focus more resources on the spaces inside. The south-facing hilly green slopes situated in the courtyard extends the public space and echoes the greenness of the hillside slope. Over time, the movement of the trees creates light and shadow in the yard which brings a liveliness.
