Up-Switch

Dwelling Concept – Competition Entry

As one of the top 5 entries in this competition by Tubadzin/FutureNOW, the up-switch house is designed as a dynamic architecture, moving through living space, working gallery, etc. The idea is to place the workstation in the center of the building, and the surrounding area as a living quarter, bedrooms, and other supporting functions. The center mass of the house is designed to move vertically and is able to switch room functions from the car garage, showroom area, and office area. The other element that makes this house unique is the adjustable and openable roof panels/ceiling, enabling the user to adjust the sunlight or air that will enter the house from the top side.
