Residence With The Green View

A Light Industrial-style Residence in Harmony with Nature

Using energy-saving and eco-friendly materials, Chien Hung Lu creates a sustainable home that embraces nature.

This design project, aptly named Residence With The Green View, showcases the innovative and eco-conscious approach of designer Chien Hung Lu. By utilizing energy-saving and eco-friendly building materials, Lu has created a residence that not only reduces its impact on the environment but also offers a refreshing and comfortable living space.

One of the unique properties of this design is its light industrial-style aesthetic. Lu has skillfully crafted a residence that exudes simplicity and comfort, without the need for excessive ornamentation. The result is a space that feels open, airy, and inviting.

But it's not just the aesthetics that set this design apart. Lu has also incorporated cutting-edge technology to ensure the residence operates efficiently. The use of the latest R32 air conditioner significantly reduces carbon emissions, while the heat-recovery ventilation system maintains optimal air circulation. By maintaining a constant temperature, the need for excessive air conditioning is minimized, resulting in reduced carbon emissions and resource consumption.

The design specifications of this project reveal a 148.5 square meter residence, offering ample space for comfortable living. The layout has been carefully rearranged to maximize natural light and improve air circulation. The addition of a semi-open kitchen, created by demolishing a wall in the old kitchen, allows for more sunlight and better airflow. An island counter between the kitchen and dining room further enhances air circulation, ensuring a high-quality indoor environment.

Residence With The Green View is not just a beautiful design; it also addresses the challenges of urban living. The residence, located in Taipei, Taiwan, faced issues such as exhaust emissions, noise, and poor ventilation. Lu's design tackles these challenges head-on, providing a sanctuary that shields residents from the disturbances of city life.

Through meticulous research and attention to detail, Lu has created a residence that promotes sustainability and harmony with nature. The use of diatomaceous earth on the duplex ceilings helps regulate indoor temperature and humidity, making the space comfortable and inviting. Additionally, the installation of a heat-recovery ventilation system ensures sufficient air circulation, even for those who prefer to keep windows closed due to external pollution.

Residence With The Green View is a testament to Chien Hung Lu's creativity, technical expertise, and commitment to sustainable design. This project has been recognized with the prestigious Iron A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design category in 2021. This award acknowledges the design's practicality, innovation, and adherence to professional and industrial standards.

With Residence With The Green View, Chien Hung Lu has not only created a beautiful and functional residence but has also set a new standard for sustainable and eco-friendly design in the industry.
