As the future home of a designer couple, this project came into the hands of LINKS architects with some very specific homeowner requirements. The couple wanted to integrate their daily work environment as a fundamental piece of the puzzle, where it merges with the regular routine at home. Because of this desire for hard work and home life, the 375-square-foot house was built on two main functions. The essential home office is located downstairs on the first half-basement floor, with a welcoming residential area located on the upper level. It is here that a tall window envelops a toned double-height room, and an impressive windscreen brings an amazing sunlight pattern.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The modern exterior of this project uses a pattern of wind blocks that perform a decorative function both inside and out. The blocks were implemented to allow a generous influx of lifting sunlight to enter the double high living space, where the playful penetration causes an aesthetic play of light.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Planters face the home exterior on two levels, which work to blend the contemporary structure with its surrounding green landscape, thus mitigating its presence on the ground.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Large black gates reveal a shady glimpse of the terraced entrance inside. Elevated planters and outdoor lighting create a magical atmosphere to welcome the owners home, and create a lasting first impression on guests.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

At the back of the house, the classic gable of a roof is brightly highlighted by a strip of exterior light around its edge. Massive windows break the side of the building, exposing happy sky views to those living inside.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

A tall window wraps around the sloping roof above the double-height living room, exposing the space to clear skyscrapers. The room is further brightened with light decorative pieces in the form of a soft cream carpet from a living room and a modern sofa. Modern black wheelchairs add a dark score to the layout.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The wall of decorative windbreaks provides the living room with a unique focus. The wall is raised to allow access to the concrete roof of the car park, where a dry garden is planted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The living area is a bit proud of the kitchen dining room, where a small lighted staircase gives access. The gabled roof encompasses the entire living space, making it possible to reach the ultimate ceiling height thanks to the slope of the slope.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The kitchen appears from behind flat fronts, with no cabinet door handles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

A mezzanine platform is built over the kitchen to better utilize the vast ceiling height in this area.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Access ladders climb up and over the hidden kitchen project. A sun-heated attic net makes a tempting place for rest and relaxation under a wide roof window.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The homeowner demanded that the project put a firm focus on accessibility to welcome their elderly parents who have walking challenges. Aesthetically pleasing accessible ramps were built to connect the floors instead of large stairs. The mid-level ramp optimizes and maximizes the available area in the house.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The semi-private living space is located in front of the house, with more secluded bedrooms to the rear.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The two living volumes are separated by a dry garden, which gives additional ventilation and natural light.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

A peaceful atmosphere grows out of the inner garden, which feeds on a resting pause in the separation between the walls of the two masses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The outdoor home entrance evokes the same feeling of rest with abundant green planting and bright light. Despite its cool raw concrete exterior, the home has a warm and attractive presentation. This forecourt is also the main garden for the home, although the rooftop gardens offer sweeter views and the courtyards surrounded between living volumes give more privacy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The master bathroom is a darkly decorated space with a black bathtub. A glass wall toilet is installed next to the shower cabin in a smooth, sharp layout.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The bathroom as a whole is a glass-walled room that allows natural light to be borrowed from the bedroom windows.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

A unique bathroom basin looks through the glass wall into the bedroom and the views beyond the outside windows. A capped faucet descends onto the shallow black sink. The dark decorative plan continues through the bedroom to achieve one coherent look.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

A basement floor plan, including the main garden area with a terrace, a maid\u2019s bedroom and bathroom, a universal room and the home office, which lives next to a convenient kitchen and dining room.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
