How to Harmonize Urban Living with Nature in Home Design?
Share:
Alive Residence - Sa Ta Na Architects: Creating Balance between Urban Life and Nature: The design concept of the house revolves around the use of natural light and cool breezes. The empty space surrounding the house is transformed into a garden, with plants even being grown on the balcony to create an ideal living environment. This is the heart of the design.
Architectural Elements to Consider:
- Utilizing Limited Useful Space: The design process begins by considering the limited useful space and adjusting it to accommodate future lifestyle changes.
- Designing Diverse Living Spaces: The living space is designed to cater to all lifestyles, including creating a home office area and adapting to different work-from-home setups.
- Reorienting Away from the Street: The living space is creatively designed to turn its back on the street, creating a relaxing area for residents. When the doors are opened, the desire is to separate from the noise of the street, transforming the space into a peaceful and relaxing home environment.
- Building Architecture: The building is expressed through a three-story structure clad in wooden planks and slats. This choice also brings a natural atmosphere and connects with traditional wooden houses. On the balcony, plants form a small garden that filters light and dust, creating a pleasant environment for the residents.
- Creating Separation from the Street and Experiencing Nature: This concept is crucial in transforming the house into a home, a starting point for life, and a source of inspiration for urban living.
