The NIU project arose as a way to innovate on construction systems, seeking to increase precision in the materialization of architecture and, through these solutions, to improve the quality of human environments, making them more sustainable and healthier.
In NIU's systematized architecture, each N290 is the same and at the same time different from the rest. The adaptation of the model to their landscape makes them unique. Its insertion into the topography, in this case over a slope, leads the project to an accommodation of an access staircase that becomes a project in itself. The house saves and circumvents the imposing pine trees that characterize the house.
The configuration of the house is made around a central courtyard, which reminds us of an impluvium. Four pieces with the same morphology, open on the long sides and closed on the short sides, are radially intertwined generating four outdoor spaces with different characters. An exterior space for the day area, another for the kitchen, an exterior space related to the bedrooms and another that functions as a pedestrian entrance area. The interior spaces of the house extend to the exterior, with exactly the same dimension, like a carpet that gives continuity to the spatial sequence. Thus, the habitable volume is extended and only the shade and the climate control will tell us whether we are inside or outside.
The building envelope is materialized by a piece of extruded aluminum. The metallic sheen of the aluminum helps to integrate the house to its surroundings as it adopts the tones of the garden around it and its appearance is modified during the day, as the temperature of the light changes. We are fascinated by the sensation this evokes when we implement each house with this system, the result is simultaneously identical and unique.
NIU創新建築系統是一種革命性的施工方式,其優點是能提高建築物完成後的精準度,透過此施工方式,既環保亦能改善人類環境的質量,使其更具延續性且更健康。
在NIU的系統化建築中,每個N290都是一樣的,同時卻又獨特且平分秋色。模型會根據所在的地形與環境進行調整,使它們每個都能獨一無二。此項目,建築物建在一個斜坡上,因此必須規劃一個通往建築物入口的樓梯,而樓梯本身也就成為一個項目。建築物保留並避開了許多高大的松樹,使其營造出一種舒適與自然的氛圍。
