The RE-Stock London Housing Competition is part of Bee Breeders’ Affordable Housing competition series. Run in partnership with ARCHHIVE Books and the Bartlett School of Architecture, this competition tasked participants with submitting innovative design proposals for mitigating the affordable housing crisis in London. It is the second competition focused on this city following the London Affordable Housing Challenge.
Affordable housing is open to a broader range of household incomes than social housing. Affordable housing rents vary, and are set either as a discount to the market rent or as a percentage of a household’s income. We are targeting ethnic groups in youth and small families. In order to meet the characteristics of flexibility.
CONCEPT
We imagined the entire building as a large variable building block, and users can choose how many units to rent. The walls, floors, bathrooms, etc. , have become a variety of “furniture” for selection. Such a building will be full of vitality because of various creative combinations.
We came up with a bold idea. Why don’t we just build it on a station? In this way, only need to find a suitable station. Only the distance and station characteristics need to be considered. This can reduce many troubles for the government. This is possible with London’s dense railway system. When it spreads throughout the city, it will become an interesting city symbol.

這次案子的最大挑戰來自建築如何在花季的期間找尋到適得其所的角色，讓建築的美感與精神得以推廣，同時為花季與國家公園的遊人體驗加分。巢境此次嘗試全木構的構築方式，透過量體的巧妙擺放，將力傳導至各承重牆面，小量體間形成穩固的結構平衡。
As a Flower Festival pavilion located in the remote mountains, the mission is to provide a resting point while enhancing visitors' experiences during the festival. Boolean Birdhouse is a creative interpretation of timber frame structure exhibiting amazing spatial characters. The design also brings birds and humans under the same roof for biodiversity awareness during one's visit. Interior projection mapping is an integrated art form which promotes nature conservation awareness and mutually enhances the design agenda.
全球疫情的關係，長時間須待在家生活與工作，讓人們再次對”家”有了更多的關注。家與巢是這次設計圍繞的主軸。木屋木構展示了永續建築的可能性並自然融入國家公園的優美環境。五個造型不同的木屋形同開枝散葉的家族，小家庭間各自發展成形，卻又在家族中飾有獨特的角色，形成複雜而美好的相互聚合。
As a Flower Festival pavilion located in the remote mountains, the mission is to provide a resting point while enhancing visitors' experiences during the festival. Human beings are under unprecedented influence from the Covid19 pandemics. Home regains its significance and involves our daily lives even stronger. This led to a narrative that family and home is where one found love and awesomeness yet along with complications. Our design rooted from this narrative and re-interpreted it by stacking five individual house-shape volumes and removing the overlapped area to create a booleaned interior which conveys unique spatial experiences from its complex geometries and wooden structures. One might even notices there are seven peculiar boxes with opening on the facades. Yes, a house for both people and birds under one roof! The birdhouse concept came into play to bring birds from the woods to an open field which encourages visitors aware of these wonderful species. We hope visitors enjoy this little surprise. As for the facade design, wood shingles made of Taiwania firs, were arranged with various patterns as well as bark finishes to give a natural presence as a wood cabin also as birdhouses which blends into its surroundings.
Boolean Birdhouse is located at an open square in the remote part of Yangmingshan National Park. Visitors are there for hiking or to see the Flower Clock attraction. As a resting junction with rather flat slope, people tend to stop by this square but find it barely has any sheltered area. We came up with this wood cabin idea to provide shades and resting fixtures where one may experience a contrast to the given surroundings by entering a space with only indirect light and projection art installation for a meditating experiences.
不同量體透過堆疊相嵌，在外觀上形成聚合又富變化的意象， 輔以對外牆台灣杉木材採不同處理方式達到和諧卻富變化的層次感，觀賞者走動時，在每個角度都可欣賞到建築不同的樣貌。量體兩個入口分別面對花鐘與後方花園的小徑，有銜接兩處的意涵，量體刻意在兩入口間形成趣味的涵洞，讓小朋友們穿梭體驗建築內外的空間，看似分開的兩個室內空間，在動線體驗下還是一體的。
量體堆疊下所形成的建築內部本是錯綜複雜的型態，但在設計過程我們藉布林代數的原理，移除了交集衝突的部分，留下充滿連續性與動態的面和結構。在精確的結構計算下，這些構築元素相互牽引支撐，形成穩定結構，再次呼應前述複雜而美好的關係。建築的動線規劃，期許參觀者以遠、近、繞、鑽等方式體驗其內外空間並結合遮陽避風躲雨的機能與民眾互動。另外也透過七座鳥巢的安排，讓鳥兒在不受打擾下，重回廣場棲息，拉近人與鳥的距離，增加花季體驗的樂趣與感動
Boolean Birdhouse was given a mission to challenge a spatial typology which architecturally blends in the natura setting but reinterpret messages that awaken people’s awareness of nature with simply architectural format and digital media. It was quite a task to create such format but we successfully delivered a wooden frame structure which takes advantage of the requirement to somehow isolate visitors but at the same time fortify their awareness of mother nature. The frame structure utilizes continuous stacked walls and roofs to form a wooden shell for a dimmed ambience that will allow our digital media contents to be viewed. The shell further expresses the complex and monumental characters of such building even though the actual built area was merely 80 square meters.
The interior is mainly for sheltering and exhibition, in which one may find a cozy position to enjoy a moment of meditation. The circulation is curated to have visitors entering from two different entrances on the opposite side shaping different vantage points to appreciate the spatial characters. Since the interior space is semi-disconnected, visitors are expected to engage both inside and outside of the building to complete the experience which makes more sense for a project in such specific location. Projection mapping is an integrated art form presenting fantastic visual drama promoting nature conservation awareness which mutually enhancing the design agenda.
When we were strolling around the site, we noticed beautiful bird chirping sounds from time to time but barely saw any. We realized the open area in the mountains has no sheltering place for birds. They keep themselves away from the square and hide in trees further away. While we were to come up with a resting shelter for visitors, why not let the birds in? Our design then incorporate seven bird houses to introduce beings to the birds and vice versa. This rephrases our intention to let the architecture be the medium to celebrate the wonderfulness of bio-diversities on our given land.
Inside Boolean Birdhouse is an exciting display of a challenging recreation of wooden frame structure. Each stacked volume plays a role to balance out the whole building. Pitched and curved roofs, overhangs and a suspended resting platform all give the project the beauty of complexation, visually and structurally. Many parts, especially roof structures were carefully designed and digitally fabricated for precise assembly. Digital media was curated to render the complex shapes with vivid natural images as a visual symphony. People here may experience the serenity or orchestrated media impact upon different timeline during exhibitions.

This 33 SQM flat has 3 different levels including entry level, kitchen level and bedroom level. The main feature is the floor to ceiling shelving consists kitchen cabinet, bookshelves and wardrobe. The idea is to minimize the use of material to create a wider and continuous view within this tiny unit.
A rolling stairs leads to the upper level is the bedroom with single linear railing. The open plan allows more light and flow in the unit also creates more interesting relations between different rooms.
From the main entry level down is the restroom, kitchen and dining area. This multifunction area is laid with crispy white tiles with pale pink grout through out the space creating a bright and casual environment to hang out. The long stairs is an extra sitting and a laid back area for this small flat.

藏身安和路巷子民宅2樓20坪的小空間，基地狹長，天花高度亦有限，在這條件下，我們以顏色與材質加上數位製作打造俐落且具質感的創作空間。
Our modest site(60sqm) is located on the second floor of one of the many identical townhouses in Taipei city. So banal the building as well as its interior space that it became a challenge to design an office space with its own unique identity.
特別調製的白色加上俐落的陳設，讓空間中有視覺延伸的效果，亦有助工作時精神的提升與專注。白色的完成面底下 ，我們投入密集的設計與製作來形成空間中的元素：實木特殊裁切的地板，特殊金屬網面的隔間與門片，慎選材料澆灌而出的白色水泥流理檯面，數位網點雷射切割logo的金屬隔屏，讓燈火通明的工作室成為自己最顯著的招牌。再輔以特別挑選的白色活動書架與配件。白色的驚艷來自對細節及工藝貫徹的堅持。
To further inspire the creative people working there, our approach is to let white wash over the whole interior. Not as simple as it sounds, white finish can be achieved by millions of ways, and we picked up the tough one to go ahead. Under the white finish are elements we designed for the space, and most of them came with unique design and make approach.
Although compact with rather limited programs inside, various design details can be found in a hand cast white concrete bar counter, fabricated fine metal mesh screen and door panels, solid pine parquet forming interesting graphic and precise assembly of perforated front screen serving energy saving purpose with an eye-catching logo.
All these under a calm and inspiring sheet of white wash, which conveys our pursue of consistency and concise design language
The lighting solution adds the vibrant to this simple rectangular open space by using arranged light tubes. which are visible from the outside of the window as a signage of the firm's logo.
This white sleek office space is a testimony for a budget and chic work place. We wanted to use the characteristics of common materials and de-texturized them by painting it all white to create a harmonized ambient environment curated by the light only.
Flooring is arranged with budget industrial wooden planks with very minimal treatments but interesting pattern for a dynamic visual experience.
Mobile bookshelves serve certain function to organize books and for easier references to individual workstation.
Along with lacquered wood finish in white, painted recycled rebars, terrazzo counter top and concrete walls and flooring are all rendered under the same color scheme. A space featuring rich materiality with coherence has been a goal for this project.
In related to the porous front screen, a different metal mesh is applied for partitions and door panel, which gives desired opaqueness and translucency. Along with the whiteness from paint and materials themselves, the refraction from various light sources gives the white different depth.

這個設計案就針對這些點來規劃出一個狗與小孩都能奔跑捉迷藏的有趣空間，將促進家人互動的公共區域分配與延伸到整個空間。當然對一貫喜好挑戰建材與施工的我們，也要讓空間的視覺感官不一樣！
To achieve the goal of flexible spatial quality and visual penetration in a modest size flat, as well as the room for active pets and kids to play, we utilize floor zoning and various partition strategy as a deconstructive approach to fulfill these requirements.
單層住宅也可以像調色盤般的豐富有趣。這個私人住宅有40+坪的空間，對育有一女的夫妻來說，是個夠用但侷限的空間。以原有隔間來看，室內的後大半段都被房間與浴室等私密空間佔據，若廚房非開放式，開門所見就是不大的客廳與飯廳。業主家好動的臘腸狗很多時間宅在家沒地方活動也是令人沮喪。透過移除原有隔間，露出開放的地板，我們利用磨石子地耐用適合寵物行走奔跑的特性，加入銅條造型來軟性區分空間，輔以造型磚牆與通透的鐵件隔間視覺的反差與折門隔間靈活的開闔創造獨特空間感卻沒原有的閉塞。
The design challenges the materiality and construction technique to ensure the delivery of desired textures and spatial quality in this space, so as the sophisticated visual attraction demanded by our artist clients.
We tried to bring back the forgotten glory of the terrazzo flooring.
Along with carefully mixed compounds cast on site, different design layout of copper dividers were customized to distinguish the programs in this space. Materiality has always played a significant part in our design, especially in a residential project. We believe in the most experience in a space is not only composed by visual but even more by the tactile.
Copper dividers were precisely prefabricated in the factory for desired details, shapes and composition.
The interior partitions are often necessary dividers in a residential flat and as rather rigid components in a layout. Our intention here is to dub them the role of being self-explanatory spatial elements. Be it foldable panels, sliding book wall, steel-glass screens or parametric brick walls according to spatial programs, they contribute to visual references and penetration which fundamentally transformed a typical flat layout.
Elaborated kitchen finish.
Along with carefully picked colour palettes and tile patterns, folding doors serve the presentation of either an open kitchen and a gathering bar counter. The spatial depth and visual presence can be easily chosen accordingly.
Rich palette of interior materials.
A glance at the mixed-use study area and master bedroom reveals a composition of carefully arranged raw material from terrazzo, bricks to cedar wood along with retro steel-glass screens. The deliberately widen passage to the children's room connects private and public sections and serves as a transitional study area.
Let the bricks dance!
The parametric brick wall serves as a partition wall that runs through the apartment and separates the public and private area. The wall itself is a deviation from the ordinary interior partition wall which not only adds more dynamic to the space but also forms certain contrast against the lightness of the glass-metal screens.
Visual and physical experiences
Take this compact bathroom space for example, the spatial limit can be improved by applying looping optical guidance and angled window sash to achieve the comfort while using such limited space .

Double glass house
Though only two meters from the edge of the bed to the building facade wall, we decided to give two layers of curtain screens and one glass partition for more insulation , sound proof and spatial buffing without sacrificing visual extension to the city.
Lacquered wardrobes- a unique language to introduce an small but asserted space where fashion happens within a domestic flat.
Let the marble sketch the room
The marble finish in the master bathroom is an echo to the patterns on the terrazzo floor. Instead of mix the ingredient for the finish look, the design intended to express via the stone's nature grain gesture with specific cladding pattern.

Trees are breathing with a rhythm through a day, year after year, slow and unseen. It is, however, a critical part of nature cycle that plants give back what they don’t need back to nature. Evapotranspiration is the phenomenon of evaporate excessive water taking from soil into the air, a move to keep trees grow and healthy. As an opportunity for an urban couple to construct a weekend getaway house on a tree, it is this opportunity that they can further interact with the nature.
The design is inspired by the mentioned observation. It investigates into the transpiration of plants and turns the subtle gesture into visualization on the tree house building skin so to have tree house breathing simultaneously with its host.
The programs and floor layout are designed to augment the expectation of a weekend house from an urban couple. Different floors have various openness to the nature which are designated to provide gathering, privacy and meditation. LIBRARY DECK/ SEMI PUBLIC/ SHELTERED OPEN AIR AREA Space area: 28.4 square meters, high ceiling with panorama glazing rooftop Program: library with nature view fix into a V shape of the branches and hung from other branches as well
SCREEN DESIGN
The ‘breathing’ façade is made possible by adopting moisture sensitive polymer as ‘muscle tissues’ between modules which senses high moisture and opens the skin under various environmental factors that causes higher transpiration rate from the tree and uncomfortable microclimate within the house. The transitional pattern is reflecting the need for privacy and view from the inside. Once distribution is set, the pattern demonstrates different degrees of openness, for example, the contrast between day and night, rain or shine, even summer and winter
