The Prototype
Unicode’s prototype of Orchid House is positioned to apply on the rooftops of urban residential housing and is planned to be an option for offering social housing.
The utilization of roof terrace has its socio-cultural root in Taiwan and the Orchid House is designed with a flexible interior plan to be highly adaptive for various functions and configurations. Such additional roof space is readily feasible for the use as housing, social space, or family gathering in daily life. It also serves as an incentive, once endorsed by the government policy, for existing owners to renovate and improve the value of rooftop, which may otherwise remain underutilized, if not abandoned.
For the SDE 2014 competition, the Orchid House will be configured in an “L” shape containing a typical one-bedroom family unit with a common terrace and rooftop. Furthermore, a “green-core” consists of strategically placed greeneries will also serves to reduce and helps to regulate the indoor microenvironment as well as functional, indoor planting area.
