Pure Land Amidst the Mountains
Finalist
Competition: Spark:Space
Designer: Wen Tong Hsieh
Design Type: Architecture; Residential
Company / Organization / School: T.E&C Architects & Associates
Team Members: Wen Tong Hsieh, Chien Wei Lin & Che Yuan Wen
This design project uses architectural concrete as the main structure, allowing the building to maintain the natural and pure nature in order to blend with the surrounding natural environment, valuing and emphasizing on the natural interactions between people, space and environment; large French windows are adopted to guide in natural lighting, framing the mountain views from afar to form a magnificent landscape. Being the design gist, the architectural concrete offers people with a dignified, comfortable and conservative visual ambience, endowing space with a sense of calmness, successfully connecting and blending with nature. The designer has hung up a simple painting for the raised area in the lounge, decorating the overall visual tension for the lounge area, while an architectural concrete wall is adopted to present an elegant and pure emotion, thereby introducing new vitality to the modern and simplified style. The clean and well-executed sentiments accentuate the majestic ambience that makes one linger on.

Pure Land Amidst the Mountains, Spaces Design
"Good blend of creation of privacy and orienting the home to the available views."
"Love the use of voids and concrete. The architecture stands out, rather than receding, given the neighborhood context."
