Weekend cottage

Idea projektu

A house designed for an orchestral conductor and composer, using musical concepts like silence, crescendo, and rhythm to shape spatial sequences. The courtyard serves as the central refrain, with rooms flowing like a musical composition.

Popis projektu

The project creates a captivating retreat for a conductor that offers spatial sequence and connection piece by piece, room by room. The concept 'Music-Inotion' draws parallels between musical elements and architectural spaces. Silent spaces allow the conductor and music to breathe, with silence treated as having the same power as sound. The courtyard sits at the heart of the house as a central refrain, functioning like a melody moving through a score. Users move through community spaces, loop through, and expand into private areas, creating a leading transitional flow back to rooms. The experience follows a crescendo pattern - from a composed (Piano) small space that expands into (Forte) long (Grandio) double-height living, rising towards the sky.

Technické informace

Cross ventilation is achieved through curved forms that guide wind into every room, functioning like notes in the air. The thermal rest strategy uses hot air entering the centre of the house, rising and cooling pool water through evaporation, which cools the air in bedroom and living spaces. The vertical courtyard acts as a chimney for vertical airflow, where hot air rises inside rooms and draws into the courtyard to rise up. The spatial program includes bedroom, study, courtyard, living room, dining, and kitchen areas.
