Townhouse
Blue Bay Residential

Townhouse for gad

The innovation of this design nurtured from local context is reflected in two dimensions. The first dimension is the visual harmony of architecture and environment with the combination of high-brightness white (the aluminum plates) and high-saturation blue (the sea and the sky) and green (the court and the coconut forest). The second dimension is the unity of architecture and local climate: the loose architectural layout makes the indoor spaces surrounded by the courtyards, and the comfort of living on the tropical seashore is realized by sufficient shading and ventilation.

Unique Properties

The local hot and rainy climate has formed conventional architectural methods like courtyard, cold alley and deep eave, which inspire the design to break through the blocking up of traditional architectures and to integrate architecture with nature. The overall composition of the building dominated by horizontal lines and strips, is stretchy and stable, forming a romantic rural style, an environmental coincidence and a metaphor with the spacious golf course and the unfolded South China Sea.

Production Technology

The tropical monsoon climate and long sunshine duration require better shading and ventilation conditions. In the project, the eaves of the same house are 600mm and the different houses are 1800mm, the prefabricated slope roof system is thus formed not only ensures the shading needs but also the privacy needs between the upper and lower units. A space sequence composed of lobby-courtyard-hall-corridor creates a complete north-south air passage to adjust the overall wind environment.

Design Challenge

Against the regular residential determinant texture and homogenized architectural style promoted by urbanization development, this project responds to nature in a form of continuous and porous space and stretchy and futuristic formal language, so as to create a new living experience that responds to the local climate and traditional living habits, strives to explore a new architectural model at the junction of city and nature, and seeks the possibility of life different from urban experience.

Project Duration

The design of the project began in September 2020, the construction began in June 2021 in Lingshui, Hainan and is expected to be completed in December 2023.

Operation Flow

This case tries to combine the living pattern in the traditional folk houses with the modern green architecture design methods, and finally to explore a new dialogue between the city and the countryside in the regional and contemporary context.

Research

The conceptual origin and the underlying design logic is drawn from the investigation and study of the local traditional residences: in the macroscopic layout of villages, there are often large-scale squares; in the mesoscopic organization of groups, they are often staggered with each other, leaving out the front and back field space and air channels; in the microscopic architectural distribution, functional blocks are scattered and connected through the corridors.

Inspiration

Derived from blurred boundaries in traditional Hainan residential pattern known as living scattered and porous and adjacent to the yard, the plane organization is combined in the shape of Hui (a Chinese character with an enclosing shape), the living rooms are arranged around the courtyard, and the scattered porous layout is in line with the hot and windy climate. Meanwhile the double first floor concept breaks the spatial certainty between the inside and the outside at different elevations.
