阡陌的住宅

The old tree in the field embodies the family’s values. The architectural concept is about reorganizing masses into a modern vertical quadrangle house, inherited the traditions of farmhouses and responding the image of mountainous, ridges and paddy fields of Hualien.
Building façade from the gable roof to both sides of North and South elevations, signifying an extension from the landscape.
By shifting two side wings of the house, lawn spaces of varied scales were created, connecting the living room and the dining room on the first floor, where kids’ laughter flows through day and night, just like the summer breeze running through the lawns and rooms.
The patterns of field landscape are translated into juxtaposition of slates, timbers and wood-wool-cement-board finishes, which make our interior theme design.

-Rough texture with low color saturation provides warmth, and further dampers the echoing caused by spacious layout efficiently.
-The heightened entrance hall with large openings represents the connection to context and open sky.
-The living room, study and the corridor on the second floor surround the planted courtyard, thus the greenery is omnipresent visually.
-Along the spiral staircase onto the third-floor loft, comprising a meditation space and a home bar, relaxing or liberating oneself after day works.
-A cozy lounge under the stairs and the attic above children’s bedrooms where are the secret fortress to kids.
-A magnificent view of the Pacific Ocean and Formosan mountain on terrace, or a starlit night through the skylight.
In this ideal home, it is no longer a distant dream to embrace the poetic natural sceneries coveted by the urbanites.
