JUT Qilian Apartments

Taipei, Taiwan

忠泰唭哩岸住宅。台北。台灣

​

The hillside apartments are designed like the compartments of a train that are separate yet connected. This allows the building to form a close dialogue with and appear less imposing against the backdrop of the surrounding landscape. The elevation is designed as a series of overlapping layers. The internal layer of glass windows allow natural light into the residences. External solid walls are clad in a combination of stones with colours ranging from off white to brown. Different materials are unified with a white steel frame, the combination expressing a rich visual play of solid and void.

位於山坡前的住宅為了採光，也為了看起來並不龐大，建築含蓄分段 - 猶如火車車廂既分開又是互相銜接。在處理立面也讓這實為三棟的樓宇，能和背後連綿不絕的青山，相互對話。住宅的立面，前、後，東西兩側，都有重疊的層次：比較裏內的立面，玻璃窗戶直接讓室內空間取得陽光，實牆部份砌有淺白色的花崗岩石，或鵝黃、棕褐色的唭哩砂岩。不同的建材由白色的鋼鐵框架結合起來，成為實與虛的交錯，在有如九宮格的鋼鐵白框架，建材色彩替換構成有趣的組合，豐富又柔和的視覺效果。
