Architecture Design of TJ House

Description About The Project

TJ House designed by One and a Half Architects, as a plain-white box, floating without a central pillar for a cleaner eye-level view. Indeed, the building designed for a simple and minimal component, shows proportion aesthetics instead of showing other components. Also, the building’s main wall designed at some distance from the room glass, producing air – circulated insulation and reducing the temperature in this high hall.

On the other hand, small courtyards are also distributed throughout the house for more green areas and a better atmosphere. The house aligned on the East-West side, which fitted with the land layout. The project designed for minimum sunlight. In addition to this, the swimming pool is in the North, parallel to the house. The pool helps cool down the house and is a great view of the master living room.

Once inside, the living room is a center of connection for all functions. The house double – spaced in parallel with the outside swimming pool. All important functions: living, swimming, cooking, working, and resting, utilized from the same space. For socializing families, the area to welcome guests is essential but not too large to separate into other rooms. Guest restrooms intentionally designed to have a small courtyard for more ventilation. Light gaps are available on the top for planting trees and are used to grow plants on the mezzanine floor’s roof. The design produced a better atmosphere for the restrooms and covered the views from outside.

Text by the Architects: “Home utilizing common areas to connect residents’ happiness”. Concept and Design Guideline – The house with “Living” as the main part. The original land has a large Padauk tree at the corner. Living members include 1 family and 1 French Bulldog as the main character. The inspiration started from the movie title “Happ(y)ness”. Happyness is spelled as Y, not I. Happyness is not only I, but also You. We want the house to be everyone’s space and be the happiness area, where friends and family stay together. The concept was used to design zoning and functions for this TJ House.
