“Home” is a space formed through the daily refinements of life. For several years we worked with the owner to create a portrait of his life with his family. Located in beautiful Taitung, the building is nestled among vast rice fields, unobtrusively nestled between distant mountains on one side and the sea on the other. It lies close to the ground, as if it were an extension of the earth itself. Horizontal roof panels are aligned with the horizon, creating endless views of nature.
Their gentle downward curves echo the undulations of the mountains in the distance, drawing a natural line that subtly integrates daily life and space with the blue sky, mountains, and fields. Every space under the roof can feel the touch of the breeze, the warmth of the sun, the rhythm of the rain and the temptation of the scenery. Life can breathe and dance with nature.
The “Hui” shape of the building structure is inspired by Taiwan’s traditional three-entry courtyard space layout, resulting in “inner courtyard for living” and “outer courtyard for nature”, reflecting the relationship between nature and architecture. The inner courtyard is the intersection of the mountain and sea axis. It is also an open area that extends the living space, providing unlimited possibilities and imagination for daily life. One side houses the open public areas (living room, dining room, kitchen and study), while the private areas (bedrooms) occupy the other side, featuring a sundial-like skylight.
The entrance leads directly to a corridor, which connects different spatial parts of the building with daily life scenes, suggesting how life dialogues with nature from the inside out. The building’s rustic spatial quality reflects the raw roughness of Taitung’s land. Through a minimalist life attitude, the home can truly be integrated with nature, and the warmth of “home” will be injected into it as time goes by.
