9 Residence (2018) -ccai
This narrow plot was assigned to the office in
a quest of creating a functional 155 sq. house
able to house a young family. In order to make
the residence more functional the ground floor
was designed as an open plan with the living
room, the dining area and kitchen made as
one unified space. For more privacy a deck
area was assigned at the back end of the
house with a barbeque place and a narrow
strip of garden adjacent to the neighbors plot.
The top level is mainly used as the families’
private zone where all the bedrooms are
facing North-East. The master bedroom has
its own en-suit bathroom, wardrobe and
a small balcony. In addition the laundry is
though best to be done at the top level of the
residence therefor extra storage is added at
the corridors allowing for washing machine to
be installed and with the addition of an extralarge
balcony at the back end of the house
the drying can be done naturally.
The whole residence has a narrow shape
clean white form but an element of interest
is added at the front of the house with a
diagonal cladding system.
