Text description provided by the architect. In the context of the post-Covid-19 world, although life is gradually returning to normal, individuals’ mental and physical health conditions have deteriorated significantly. People still lack inner spaces that can relieve crowding and improve overall mental health. This is especially true for closely spaced rowhouses in dense urban environments.
The land area on which HY House is built is quite small and is located in the center of a high-density urban area. The challenge for the architects was to create a completely open structure within a narrow house surrounded by high walls. The architects met this challenge by introducing climate-responsive structures, ensuring that the interior of the house is completely “open”. They achieved this by creating a tropical shell for the front and rear facades, with a lush carpet of vegetation in between and wide voids at different levels.
Externally, the tropical shell consists of interlocking fired clay bricks creating over 50% void space. This structure protects the interior from adverse elements such as direct sunlight, urban dust, noise and rain, allowing cool breezes to circulate freely through every nook and cranny of the house. People are no longer overly dependent on mechanical cooling units and air conditioners. Internally, rooms are kept to a minimum and public living spaces are open, creating an overall “porous” structure. Through the use of large glass panels, the boundary between interior and exterior is completely eliminated, eliminating divisions along the length of the house.
The continuity of open floors is maintained throughout the house, with nature present everywhere. Natural light fills every room and a cool and pleasant breeze flows through the air, creating conducive conditions for easy communication, connection and connection between family members. All the usual stuffiness of narrow terraced houses has been eliminated. Promote mental health healing through the intersection of natural elements, allowing individuals to enjoy relaxation in their own home.
