From the architect. The terrace and balcony, which are preferred as the best space in the whole building in the Western world, are disappearing in Korea due to the desire of more indoor space. It lost its distinct character by being covered with glass or being expanded to an indoor space. For the Namsan Patio, we wanted to create a place that would substitute this vanishing space.

We wanted to create a sustainable free space, not a terrace or a balcony that would disappear in the future. Patio can contain a multiple meaning. This place(patio) can become a relaxed time in our lives, and it can also be a goal or an assignment. It can be utilized as an exterior living room, an entrance yard, a garden, or even as a domestic space. Users will continue to maintain the patio. Through such activity, the space and the users become one, and the space will be completed by being filled with new functions and activities.

The building surrounds the site, bearing the patio. The vertically opened courtyard and the horizontally opened free space come together and form a relationship. This relationship brings completion of the patio. Centered by the patio, the circulation flows. The interior walls that are made up with bricks transmit a deep sense of touch. The brick wall offers a single silhouette as a whole, which connects the free spaces that are piled vertically. The patio, flowing on the courtyard space, will be a free space which connects nature, human, and the city.

With green architecture in mind , the idea of “Green Ladder” is combination of bamboo ladders – a popular equipment made by bamboo – a traditional material in Vietnam. These bamboo units were assembled in Vietnam and transferred to Australia.

Bamboo is the “green steel” of 21st-century. It is an extremely fast-growing species of giant grass, grows abundantly, quickly and cheaply in Vietnam, where canes cost as little as a dollar each.

The structural elements are linked together to form a porous but robust grid-like frame, supporting the planter pots inserted in-between. The pavilion acts as a physical link connecting visitors and nature. Ultimately becomes more than form, function and beauty, but a catalyst between human – nature.

The project contributes to raise people’s awareness of greenery and nature in the urban context, particularly Vietnam, where green spaces have become more and more scarce.

NANJING GREEN LIGHT HOUSE (NANJING, PRC 2012-15). We would all like to produce more ‘green’ buildings with lower energy consumption or low carbon emission.. The challenge is at the same time to make this necessary new buildings even more attractive than buildings of today and not just making engineering technology driven machines. With this lighthouse we aim for no less than this.

The driver for the design has been to create a park, then a building and then an interior design, which stands out as one connected design focussed on creating a great environment for people celebrating the daylight. Light House is one of the first of ZERO CARBON buildings to be done in mainland China, hence it will host state of the art technology to achieve an energy consumption below 25 KwH/m2/year and the remaining energy load will be offset by Photo Voltaic panels. BUT a mayor reason for the achievement has been the ability to achieve a 200 LUX natural daylight level for all permanent working areas through sophisticated façade design. The building will celebrate the natural daylight and indoor climate in general and increase the well-being and productivity of the users. With the assistance of a multidisciplinary team and 3D tools optimized areas of window and skylight has been calculated to achieve maximum efficiency with minimum use of high performance façade openings.

A combination of efforts; the circular building with the meandering façade turning window openings away from the direct heat of sun, the daylight horizontal reflectors on windows, an inner atrium receiving daylight from the carefully orientated skylights etc. all sums up to a softly lighted interior. Natural ventilation, interior greenery, open transparent interiors and natural bright materials compliments a work place as living exhibition enjoyed everyday by the users.
