Tan Residence by Chrystalline Artchitect

The initial idea in designing this residence is to create a house with good air circulation and natural lighting within its site, which is quite long compared to its surface appearance. The main building extended toward to provide large garden as a private view. To present airflow to inner courtyard, Chrystalline Artchitect arranges the level different between the guest room and the master room. The landscapes also assist as a camouflage on the lower level guest room.

The surface is covered with skin marble stone that was specially craved to produce an accent in the overall facade of the building. On the west region of the building, service rooms, which include a powder room, stairs and a master bathroom, are particularly designed as a hot buffer. Inside this house, there is a credenza television that acts as the vocal point which made hanging on the void. On the inner side of the courtyard, maximum opening created without any view blockage and frameless glass, with no columns, to create an ambiance of a larger space and the sense of blending in with nature. On the side of the yard, a reflecting pond is build along the main room with the accent of a timber deck, right below the children’s bedroom. This yard area is the source of air circulation and natural light for the house.

The vertical circulation towards the upper level of the house is in the form of a cantilever stair with frameless glass railings, which is positioned right next to the living room. This creates a sense of unity within the main room and the upper level. In the upper floor, a connecting bridge is located between the master bedroom, children’s bedroom and study room. This bridge transverse right in the middle of the void, therefore the activities of the owner could be seen whether in the living room, dining room, study room or master bedroom. Also from this void, air circulation moves inwards to the upper level of the house and out through the air grill on the roof glass above the main stairs.
