Dubbed ‘Bird House’, this residential project consists of three structures encompassing a shared swimming pool and sundeck designed through fluid shapes in the form of walkways, water features, and flower beds.
The largest building is nestled into a sloped site overlooking a small creek that runs past the property, while the studio and the guest house flank the entrance to the site.
Together the structures create an ensemble that integrates into the existing foliage of large trees which were maintained to provide external shading and privacy. The trees also become the canopy for outdoor resting places as part of a landscape design resembling a miniature park.
These so-called ‘birdhouses’ blend into nature, and their pivoting floor plans create expressive inhabitable sculptures that form exciting relationships to the outdoors while being very present as memorable interpretations of the idea of a house.
The outdoors can be enjoyed from the house through ample openings, floor-to-ceiling glass walls, and wraparound balconies
The experience of exploring those structures is a journey through the three-dimensional, maze-like arrangement of their different spaces, radiating out from their central vertical circulation elements into their surroundings.
The structures provide ample opportunities for dramatic and functional lighting. JUNG lighting control system with scene settings are installed in public areas such as living and dining rooms. With the use of dimmers, scene setting can alter the mood or character of a room by introducing intensity or softness through light; it can also provide ample illumination for specific tasks done at specific spaces.
For bedrooms, bathrooms, corridors, and staircases, conventional switches from the JUNG LS 990 series are specified for a more straightforward lighting for uneven surfaces, narrow passages, and steps for safety and practical considerations.
JUNG has a full range of control systems, manual switches, and power sockets that address the needs for both aesthetic and practical lighting adequately.
The stunning design of Bird House is already evident during the day, but when the night falls and with proper illumination, its beauty shines on even in the dark.
