TJ Residence

   We have designed a double skin on south and west of the house facades, and another unique feature is the roof, as we have extended 2.5 – 4m around the house to reduce heat and help to protect the exterior of the house from direct sunlight. In addition to that, we raised the roof to create space between the rafters and the ceiling to be the ventilation channels for the house, as well as a source for the natural light to come into the interior space.

 

   We allocated a waterfall on the southwest side of the house next to the living room and the dining room to create a similar atmosphere to a riverside house. Moreover, by having the water element right next to the house helps in cooling the surrounding temperature, as the wind blows through a waterfall feature into the house.
