Nest
The designer conceptualizes the case around the theme of "swallows' return to the nest," incorporating their preference for a black tile slanted roof. This concept is realized through 2 slanted roof volumes, resembling the wings of swallows. By extending the outdoor paddy field landscape into the interior, the designer creates a captivating spatial experience. Multi-level skylights and patios, including those above balconies and in the attic and hall, add depth to the space while inviting sunlight to bathe the tranquil residence in Yilan.
