01.浙江乡村三角形住宅
杭州
An aerial precedent showing a contemporary white triangular dwelling inserted into a dense rural village fabric, useful for rural regeneration and contextual contrast studies.

- Geometry
- An acute triangular mass is embedded within a dense, organic matrix of low-rise vernacular buildings with pitched grey tile roofs.
- Facade system
- Smooth white rendered exterior walls with strategically punched, minimalist window openings.
- Structural guess
- Reinforced concrete frame with masonry infill.
- Spatial scale
- Two to three-story residential scale, matching the height and bulk of surrounding rural housing.
- Lighting
- Twilight setting with warm interior illumination glowing through square windows and an internal courtyard.
- Atmosphere
- Serene and luminous twilight mood, emphasizing the crisp geometry of the new intervention against weathered roof tiles.
- Environmental context
- Dense rural village context in Hangzhou with tightly packed traditional multi-family dwellings and narrow pathways.
- Spatial experience
- The bright volume contrasts sharply with the surrounding dark fabric, creating a striking focal point amidst traditional alleyways.
- Composition rhythm
- Irregular rhythm of dark pitched roofs converging toward a singular, geometric white mass.
