| DESIGN NAME: A Simple Abode PRIMARY FUNCTION: Residential House INSPIRATION: This home was designed for a couple. Their brief was to have a home that felt open and cool without too much dependence on air conditioning. A home that felt cosy 'just for two', yet spacious enough to welcome friends and family. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: To provide maximum shade and cross ventilation, we introduced cantilevered sections to 3 sides of the house exterior. Indoor, the void area channels hot air upwards to be dissipated through vents at the top. The interior spaces are designed so that they connect with the exterior by the opening of the entire length and the back of the house. The living and dining area merges into one large entertainment space when guests come round. The elevated open plan kitchen is easily accessible from the dining areas, allowing the hosts to mingle with guest while cooking. Skylight vents are also introduced in the walk in wardrobe to allow natural lighting and reduces moisture thus keeping the room from being stuffy. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: - PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in April 2009 in Singapore and finished in December 2009 in Singapore. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Architecture, Building and Structure Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Customized study table in natural teak veneer ply with the bookshelves hiding the existing column. Creating a bigger and spacious living area by removing existing column that was hindering circulation and space. Up-lighting used to accentuate the façade. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: - TAGS: cross ventilation, natural lighting, entertainment space RESEARCH ABSTRACT: - CHALLENGE: The interior heats up quickly during day.

NAME: Renaissance Planners & Designers PROFILE: Renaissance's strategy is to study various requirements of the client. Through negotiating the conflicting requirements of site, climate, technologies and various consultants, a "concept" is produced that incoporates all these requirements. These concepts are then used to develop the design at all levels and scales, creating a design language unique for the project. We do not propose a particular style as they limit options available, and stiffle exploration. Renaissance believes good design is produced from careful study and research, combined with technical knowledge and artistic judgement. Attention to detail, proportions and scale, together with common sense ensures the finished project fully develops within the concept. Today, modern Asian houses have evolved as a response to the increasingly tight suburban lots and the need to use the fronts, rear and side setback as "viewing courts". The courts allow a dialogue between the interior & the exterior spaces. |
