RESIDENCE FOR A FAMILY IN TAIWAN
Households of three generations are still popular in many parts of Asia and the Asian Pacific area. Grandparents, parents and children find that there is a sensible balance in the household. This residence is somewhere in between and is designed more like a small community of families. The families with small children have a separate wing. The older generation have their own and in between there is a generous area of shared space. Although the building is large, it is designed to keep a domestic scale, yet be able to support corporate entertaining when necessary.
在亞洲和亞太地區的許多國家,三代同堂的家庭仍然很受歡迎。祖父母,父母和子女同住的家庭有著合理的平衡生活模式。該住宅介於兩者之間,我們把它設計得更像是一個小型家庭社區。有小孩的年輕家庭有一個獨立的側樓。老一輩有自己的另一側,並且在兩者之間設計一個寬敞的共享空間區域。儘管建築物很大,但設計規劃確保每一個住在家裡的個人足夠室內坪數需求,但在重要時刻仍有足夠空間提供必要的共享大型家庭社交娛樂活動。
The actual architecture is well suited to the semi-tropical climate. Scandinavian standards of insulation maintain the inner areas cool in summer without much aircon and warm in winter with only minimum heating. Needless to say, the Architect Frederick Rickmann, ThinkingUrban, design balances well with the principles and details of feng shui.
實際的建築結構非常適合亞熱帶氣候。運用斯堪地那維亞的隔熱、保溫標準使得夏季的室內保持涼爽,而不需要太多的冷氣空調,冬季則保持溫暖,只需使用很少的暖氣。不用說,ThinkingUrban 首席建築師 Frederick Rickmann 的設計與風水的原理和細節之間取得了很好的平衡。
