Description

FJ house begins with the intention of inserting nature into a living space. The site is located facing north and east, with other two sides abutting adjacent properties. As a result, the house is encircling a central green courtyard that actually functions as an open-air living room. A basic, close-to-nature palette was selected — stone, wood, and water — which helped create a stable thermal mass. Flooded with natural light, the double-height of the indoor living room in conjunction with the green vista that unfurls through floor-to-ceiling windows furthers the ‘living in a garden’ endeavor. The double-wall screens wrap around the houses, protecting the façade from the harsh sun and heat of the climate.
