Cocoon 17

Man has an innate desire to be connected with the outdoors. The intimacy between indoor and outdoor spaces is continuously maintained throughout the house. The rooms are articulated as ‘indoor’ terraces where the spaces may touch the forest garden. Outdoor spaces in the master bedroom brings in nature directly into the bedroom. Creepers tumbling down from the skylight into the atrium provide the connection with the outside right into the heart of the house.

There is the interpretive utilisation of nature as a living architectural element acting as the roof and the walls of the house. The roof and walls are no longer static but alive and growing, ever changing, giving different persona to the house as it ages. Meanwhile, light and breeze animated by the foliage gives different emotion at different times of the day.

With this approach there is a symbiotic relationship between the forest and building. Here the building and landscape design are handled as one composition that transcends the traditional building design approach with the landscaping as an appendage. Within the forest cover the house is able to utilise the extensive use of glass that turns the house transparent, bright and airy, reconciliating nature with modern architecture.

The usage of glass allows for unprecedented visual clarity that allows natural light to enter deep into the house further enhancing the clarity. Natural light as opposed to artificial light creates a soothing internal environment. This visual clarity allows the idea of spatial transparency to be articulated through both the free flow of physical space and visual clarity.

The forest garden concept of the cocoon introduces a new architectural idea that completes the passive cooling design articulation. The concept creates a comfortable micro-climate within the urban context. And the house is inserted into this micro-climate to take advantage of the cooler localised environment.   

He has been able to realise his yearning for a kampong house by translating the age-old concept of sitting under the shade of a tree to function with modern needs and requirement. The result is a modern house that works in concert with its environment in respond to the tropical context. The utilisation of trees and green as a living architectural element not only performs wonderfully as a cocoon but enhances the living environment and improves the quality of life of its residents. The interpretation is a working solution that sets the precedent for the development of other residential types.

The result is a modern house that works in concert with its environment in respond to the tropical context. The utilisation of trees and green as a living architectural element not only performs wonderfully as a cocoon but enhances the living environment and improves the quality of life of its residents. The interpretation is a working solution that sets the precedent for the development of other residential types. 

Man has an innate desire to be connected with the outdoors. The intimacy between indoor and outdoor spaces is continuously maintained throughout the house. The rooms are articulated as ‘indoor’ terraces where the spaces may touch the forest garden. Outdoor spaces in the master bedroom brings in nature directly into the bedroom. Creepers tumbling down from the skylight into the atrium provide the connection with the outside right into the heart of the house.

There is the interpretive utilisation of nature as a living architectural element acting as the roof and the walls of the house. The roof and walls are no longer static but alive and growing, ever changing, giving different persona to the house as it ages. Meanwhile, light and breeze animated by the foliage gives different emotion at different times of the day.

With this approach there is a symbiotic relationship between the forest and building. Here the building and landscape design are handled as one composition that transcends the traditional building design approach with the landscaping as an appendage. Within the forest cover the house is able to utilise the extensive use of glass that turns the house transparent, bright and airy, reconciliating nature with modern architecture.

The usage of glass allows for unprecedented visual clarity that allows natural light to enter deep into the house further enhancing the clarity. Natural light as opposed to artificial light creates a soothing internal environment. This visual clarity allows the idea of spatial transparency to be articulated through both the free flow of physical space and visual clarity.

The forest garden concept of the cocoon introduces a new architectural idea that completes the passive cooling design articulation. The concept creates a comfortable micro-climate within the urban context. And the house is inserted into this micro-climate to take advantage of the cooler localised environment.   

He has been able to realise his yearning for a kampong house by translating the age-old concept of sitting under the shade of a tree to function with modern needs and requirement.
