Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The theme of this design is to transform the old brick dormitory of more than 50 years into a modern house, with the goal of revitalizing the old house. Renovated old houses usually retain their original charm while incorporating modern elements to achieve balance. This combination of old and new adds depth and richness to aesthetics, combining the nostalgia of the past with modern convenience and style. The exterior of the building is made of square cement hollow bricks, squeaks and dark gray aluminum grilles, outlining a 12-meter-long and 2-storey facade.
- Inspiration
- After the epidemic, the residential space is multi-functional to meet the needs of work, business and learning, and become a new living lifestyle, providing a healthy living environment and remote learning and working space, forming a unique living culture.
- Research
- During the renovation process, it is very important to incorporate sustainable and energy-saving features into this 50-year-old building. Because Chen Home is located near the mountainous area, municipal utility pipelines (such as gas and sewage pipes) cannot reach the area. In order to solve the energy problem, a heat pump water heater system was implemented. The system eliminates the demand for gas canisters by providing daily hot water, which helps to improve the long-term water supply problems faced by local residents.
- Challenge
- By revitalizing nearby or surrounding buildings and indoor spaces, we can meet the challenges of residential buildings and population aging. This revitalization work not only includes reconstruction, but also injects new vitality into the old house and solves the urban aesthetics of the old city. By improving the urban landscape, we can not only improve the appearance of the city, but also improve people's living conditions through indoor improvement. In this way, we can achieve the goal of good city and good life.
- Realization and Technology
- Aluminum plate: Find local suppliers and purchase locally produced aluminum materials to support the local economy and reduce transportation energy consumption. Stone: Use the stone of the local origin, which not only conforms to the regional characteristics, but also reduces the impact of long-distance transportation on the environment. Lumber: Choose to use the wood obtained from the local sustainably managed forest to ensure that the wood source is legal and environmentally friendly. Tiles and paints of earth color: choose tiles and paints based on natural earth color, which can be integrated into the local natural environment and also bring people a comfortable and warm feeling.
- Operation and Interaction
- In the renovated appearance design, the courtyard is re-stacked with square cement bricks to create visual interest, and provides holes for the placement of succulent plants, making the courtyard more lively and breaking the original cold cement brick wall. The railing on the second floor uses a square tube aluminum grille, which uses different arrangements to form a sense of rhythm. It is not only used as a railing, but also a part of the building facade. Like the coat of the building, it is transparent and protects the privacy of people indoors, creating a faint sense of beauty.
- Project Duration and Location
- The construction of the Chen home began in April 2022 and was completed in Taipei in December 2022.
- Specifications
- Two floors of the building with an indoor area of 225 square meters
