TICK ALL THE BOXES
59
The concept behind this design element is
just as brilliant as the smart design by the
architect, who was able to resolve the limitations
recognized and comply with the needs
of the owners, both in terms of the dwelling
and value-adding to the house design.
As family healthcare was paramount as part
of the design brief and concept, the house
is only 200 meters from the nearby hospital.
Additionally, given that the empty plot originated
as a daily and monthly rental parking
lot, the architect saw the potential to adapt his
design to create residential and commercial
space.
Due to a limited site area of 300 square meters
(75 sq. wah) and an extensive building setback
due to roads on both sides, the house was
designed vertically rather than horizontally to
maximize available space. Utility spaces are
clearly partitioned from the entrances, one for
public and one for private. The latter is located
deeper into the alley, thus improving the separation
of interior spaces from traffic. Although
the utility spaces cannot connect, a sense of
privacy is retained. Local Land Code regulations
compel buildings to include separate sets
of main and emergency stairs and place them
within certain distances in a fire emergency.
These regulations define the management of
the design partitioning of the spaces.
