RH House is a two-floor levels residence located in Galesong, set against the backdrop of a charming agricultural landscape. The concept of this building is designed to integrate the surrounding natural beauty as an integral part of the architectural design. At the rear of the building, there is a vast expanse of rice fields, creating a stunning view. The building is designed in such a way that it frames this rice field view, making it feel as if the space inside the house merges with the outdoors. This allows the residents to enjoy the beauty of nature from within the house, creating harmony between the interior and exterior spaces in a natural way.
Additionally, there is a large void in the center of the building, facilitating air circulation and natural lighting across all floors. This void not only serves as an aesthetic element but also as an ecological solution that improves air quality and thermal comfort inside the house. With the presence of this void, every room has direct access to sunlight and fresh air, creating a healthy and pleasant living environment.
The spatial layout of RH House is also designed to respond to the local climate by adjusting to the sun’s direction. The bedrooms are placed on the east side to receive the beneficial morning sunlight. To enhance comfort, the building shape on the western side is extended forward, creating shade that protects the bedroom areas from the afternoon heat. With this design, RH House offers not only visual beauty but also optimal thermal comfort for its inhabitants.
The rear facade of the building is designed to be operable, taking into account aspects of security, climate responsiveness, and environmental appreciation. This design also showcases an elegant aesthetic, ensuring that the facade not only serves a practical function but also enhances the overall beauty of the building. With this flexibility, residents can adjust the openings of the facade according to weather conditions and privacy needs, while still enjoying the beautiful natural views.
