“A Home by the Park” is a beautiful house with an infinite visual connection to the park (the neighbourhood park outside the plot).
The nature-loving clients asked us to design a home that resonates with nature and expresses it throughout. We took advantage of the public park in front of the site to extend nature beyond their plot. By incorporating the public park into our design, we created a home that feels as though it is nestled within nature, both physically and visually. The inhabitants are physically connected to nature through a series of themed gardens – the Front Serene Garden, the Central Rain Court, and the Private Back Garden – while the public park remains seamlessly connected visually.
The front garden welcomes guests with a sense of tranquillity and peacefulness. To strengthen the connection between the park and the garden, it has been raised to a level where they form one vast visual green scape. Though these spaces are separate, they remain visually connected.
Façade
The window façade was uniquely designed with a system of wooden shutters acting as curtain glazing. The detail involved positioning the glass in front of the shutters using adhesives (Figure 2a).
