: The site takes benefit from the beautiful surrounding of deep valley and has an advantage of its proximity to the forest conservatory, which provides tranquil atmosphere of the mountain side. The main idea is to allow the users to have different orientation in different room and have almost 270 degree view to the surrounding valleys.
: My main focus in designing this project is to make the building programs in different altitude offer different experience and views. It is intended to be a place where the client can enjoy and take a break from city’s busy life. Aside from the living spaces and service area supporting the building, the client’s request was also an outdoor multifunction area which can be used to host various events.
: I think this particular design concept will suit to the site condition and nice cool weather on the location.
: This design was made to suit this particular location and weather,so the result will be different, if this building is placed on another context. I think this design philosophy has set apart our design from other similar modern house's look.
: Ratna (SSA Lighting) as the lighting consultant
: We analyzed the view orientation and sun orientation. All wide openings on the living area were created facing the view orientation. The rotated building mass is shifted based on this view range to utilize various views from surrounding. That way the building will have different orientation in different room and have almost 270 degree view to the surrounding valleys.
: Since the site was located at a steep terrain and conservatory forest, survey and deep exploration had been done in order to comply the setbacks requirement. It took 2 to 3 years to apply the owner's permit and convince the local authority as this villa development would impact the surrounding of conservatory forest.
