Description:

​

This project transcends the realm of simply providing shelter; it aspires to be a physical manifestation of the occupants' identity. The design concept takes the form of a playful yet sophisticated "stack of books" motif, instantly establishing a unique presence within the surrounding architectural context. This whimsical yet impactful facade goes beyond mere aesthetics. The use of a louvered false facade serves a dual purpose: Firstly, it fulfills the design's intent of creating a visually striking and memorable exterior. Secondly, the louvers cleverly integrate with the primary wall, providing a functional benefit by promoting natural ventilation and aiding in passive cooling of the interior spaces. This thoughtful approach exemplifies the successful marriage of form and function, ensuring the building not only stands out but also performs admirably.
