Niji House Features Skylight Core for Natural Light and Airflow
Niji House by Patio Livity, located in Tangerang, Indonesia, is a modern home prioritizing comfort and environmental efficiency. Designed in 2024, the house features a central core integrating various elements, including a skylight and koi pond, to enhance natural light and airflow.
Skylight Core Maximizes Airflow
In this project, the main inspiration came from the need to create a home that is not only comfortable but also environmentally efficient. The core concept revolves around making the core of the house the central integration point for various structural elements, utility systems, MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing), vertical circulation, and building physics. This core was designed to extend from the first to the third floor, serving as a hub for natural light and air, enabling the stack effect. The stack effect creates a natural airflow where hot air rises, keeping the lower levels cooler.
The skylight at the core allows ample sunlight to enter the house. However, to mitigate the potential for excessive heat, a koi pond at the base of the core helps cool the surrounding area, maintaining thermal balance within the home. Additionally, the house?s north-south orientation maximizes airflow and natural lighting through openings at the front and back, ensuring cross-ventilation.
Privacy Challenges Overcome
This project came with its challenges. One of the initial obstacles was a regulation from the developer prohibiting the use of fences around the house, while...
