KNIT Residence / UID Architects
The concept was for a giant roof that flippantly outlines the earth and the sky. The house is constructed on a slope stretching from the mountainside to the underside of the mountain, the place there was residential progress given that Seventies. Whereas the positioning is positioned near the city coronary heart, the world is ample with greenery and nature.
However, incongruous high-rise condominiums on the south side of the positioning, which is prolonged and slender inside the north-south route, created a wierd view and made it powerful to protected pure delicate and privateness from the south side. On the alternative hand, the east side, with its distinction in elevation, ignored an beautiful river alongside the slope and had an outstanding view of every the city and the mountains inside the distance.
We proposed a three-dimensional home that defines the within and exterior areas with a sectional plan rooted inside the earth that integrates the microtopography of the positioning and an expansive roof. Significantly, a giant roof with 1,000 mm × 64 mm laminated picket woven in a 2,700 mm grid pattern is supported by six cross-shaped steel pillars.
The flat and rigid roof and quite a few flooring ranges ceaselessly encourage a variety of spatial experiences in relation to the surface, step-by-step shifting the usual of the home from open to introverted. In current cases, when buildings often diverge from the surrounding ambiance, rigorously decoding the given topography and surrounding ambiance and reconstructing the rich relationship between people and construction will outcome within the restoration of the pure panorama on this area.
