Tamsui House, Taiwan
Idea projektu
The goal was to design a four-member family house in Taiwan. The site is located in Tamsui District, New Taipei City very close to Tamsui River. The site provides a wonderful view of the mountains across the Tamsui River. Besides that, there are around six valuable old banyan trees on the site along north and west border of the site. Banyan trees don't have only the aesthetic or environmental value but they also can provide a protection of the house against a west hot sun. Together with other climatic influences, these aspects have become the main design elements. Another design elements, necessarily to be taken into account was the fact the Tamsui District is a quite popular tourist area and along the north side occurs a four-lane road. Along the south and west borders of site occurs a pedestrian zone which works like a connection between touristic attractions, such as Tamsui Old District, Old Tamsui Customs Wharf, Fort San Domingo, etc. This fact is in conflict with making sure a private on the site and providing the view across the river, especially in the south area. The four-lane road makes a huge noise coming from the traffic. The main project idea was to provide a private and calm atmosphere on the site and connection between the exterior and interior as much as possible.
