CONCEPT The concept of the house was drawn directly from the basic requirement of its owners, which are a photographer and an artist. The wife wants her house to have a studio and dark room to practice her abstract photography. On the other hand, the husband needs a space for a library and reading area for research. However, their main requirement is that the entire house has to be a continuous space, where they can see each other in every daily activities. Therefore, the house was designed as a stacking three-storey building with public, semi-public and private ares. The library, reading room, living room, dining and kitchen are located on the first level. On the second floor, the studio and dark room are taken place. The master
bedroom, guest room and laundry are placed on the third floor. The studio and the library are connected but shifted into different levels. The entire house was wrapped up in a membrane structure to optimize the house for maximimum cover area with minimum cost. Each floor was designed to be rotated in 90 and 60 degrees to have the best views and maximize the use of solar panels, which are integrated into the skin structure. The skyline at the staircase brings sun light into the house and helps to balance the inside and outside environment. The house is transformed into a living form and it has its own parallel life together with its owners.
