This house is built on the triangle site with a width of 18 m.
The client has requested to make the best use of the characteristic site form to build a house with both privacy protection and a sense of openness in the house.
ground floor plan
The building is composed of the echelon volume successive along the site form, and the high wall.
The landscape-oriented façade, which is one of the external features and brought about by making good use of the site width, allows people’s line of sight to be introduced in the horizontal direction.

The interior space design also takes advantage of the site width.
On the first floor the entrance hall is located at the center. On its both ends are the spot gardens that are allocated in the spaces separated by the Japanese room on the irregular site form.

As the line of sight is designed to be as long as possible, the internal space is visually expanded so as to realize the space that gives an open feeling.
On the second floor the living room and the balcony are laid out on both ends. In addition, the ceiling of the living room is designed to be higher than that of the other rooms. These designs intensify visual expansion.

The opening at the upper side of the living room, as well as the glass wall on the balcony where a bench is furnished, is one of the elements that produce a sense of openness.
By considering the site form to select the locations for the openings and control the line of sight, this house realizes the spaces that give a sense of openness but are closed off to the periphery.

交通部觀光局新聞稿
交通部觀光局這幾年來創意連連,屢出奇招。前年推出插畫式的廣告創意,不但令人眼睛一亮,更培養出許多粉絲,專門收集廣告圖案所衍生製作的宣傳紀念品。今年更以創意設計的角度切入,與藝術設計界知名之Wallpaper雜誌合作推出Taiwan revealed專輯,希望跨越台灣觀光低知名度的侷限,以突破傳統、顛覆的手法,非廣告的方式,成功傳達台灣觀光是精緻而有品質的訊息。
該雜誌由英國總部在今年四月間指派攝製團隊到台進行14天的採訪作業,荷蘭籍世界知名攝影師Dana Lixenberg戴娜.黎生博也是其中一員,到台進行景點拍攝時,不慎在計程車上遺失皮包,沒想到次日清晨,計程車司機把她的皮包送回住宿的旅館,讓戴娜與工作團隊直呼不可思議,深為台灣人的誠實與善良大為感動,因而留下深刻難忘的印象。交通部觀光局局長賴瑟珍聽到這樁真實的故事,也連說:這就是台灣,令人感動的台灣。
Wallpaper團隊以滿滿感動完成的台灣專輯將於七月刊出版,會以觀光局積極推廣的自行車旅遊角度切入,引領讀者神遊台灣;會以採訪曾獲知名建築獎之台灣建築菁英,讓讀者從現代建築如101,到老建築的保留看當代台灣建築發展的脈絡;也有深獲國際藝術界矚目之台灣當代藝術家如書法家董陽孜、雲門舞集的林懷民大師為讀者展現台灣奔騰的創意及深具活力的文化面向;而不容錯過的美食,則透過介紹台灣之時尚餐廳,包括由知名建築師設計之餐廳、裝璜獨具風格之餐廳、知名台菜...等,將台灣美食兼具美味與美感的形象推上國際舞台。
戴娜的作品常見於The New Yorker紐約客雜誌、The New York Times Magazine、Vanity Fair浮華世界等世界級媒體。
