Architectural Design Concepts for Outdoor Spaces

Innovative Roof and Space Design

• The design proposes extending the roof edges outward to create sheltered spaces that protect against rain, enhancing usability.

• By cutting away half-arch volumes from both sides of the house, a similar sheltered space is achieved, allowing for an open area beneath the roof.

• Combining six identical houses with rotational alignment generates diverse semi-outdoor spaces between them, enriching architectural experience through varied forms.

Integration of Water Features

• A sunken water surface is introduced across the site, flanked by commercial shops on either side, creating a dynamic interaction with water elements.

• The design incorporates a sunken theater that amplifies the water surface flowing into this lower space, enhancing aesthetic and functional appeal.

Modular Architecture

• The entire structure consists of six independent modular units that rotate and combine to form a cohesive design.

• Each unit features a core cylinder that gradually spirals outward, resulting in expansive under-roof communal areas.

• The combination and multi-angle rotation of these modules lead to various unique under-roof spaces, showcasing versatility in architectural layout.
