西班牙卡莫納 星形住宅
此宅是一項實驗性的住宅專案，透過星形布局重新詮釋家庭生活，提倡開放式互動。獨特的平面設計以兩座天窗照明的中庭為核心，串起日常功能空間。靈感來自神經網絡，建築中的「分支」從核心向外延伸，猶如突觸般，將室內空間與環繞的花園緊密連結。兩個木製L形體塊包含浴室、衣櫃及廚房等功能區，巧妙地圍繞著中心中庭組織起居流線。
Synapse House, an experimental housing project, reimagines domestic life by fostering open interactions within a star-shaped layout. The unique floor plan organizes daily functions around two skylighted halls, creating a bright, interconnected core. Inspired by the workings of a neural network, architectural “branches” radiate from the nucleus to the exterior, forging intimate connections between interior spaces and the surrounding garden, much like architectural synapses. Two timber-built L-shaped volumes house functional spaces such as bathrooms, closets, and the kitchen, skillfully framing the flow of domestic life around the central halls.
建築採用雙層絕緣混凝土外殼建造，且結構重量僅為傳統建築的一半，但熱絕緣性能卻提升至三倍。團隊十分關注永續性，在為五口之家設計一座四房住宅時，致力實現最低碳足跡目標，而布局亦在傳統住宅區域中引入嶄新類型，模糊了室內外、公共與私密空間的界限。
Constructed with a double-shell insulated concrete system, the building is as innovative in materials as it is in design. This highly efficient structure weighs less than half of what one might expect while delivering triple the thermal insulation. Sustainability is at the heart of the project, meeting the challenge of designing a four-room home for a family of five with minimal carbon footprint.
室內設計呈無縫連接，柔和地過渡至不同的隱私層次。通過花園步道來到開放式屋頂玄關，以過渡空間連接入口花園與後方私人庭院及游泳池。一進屋內，兩座天窗中庭成為活動核心，廚房、起居室及餐廳等社交空間以V字形向外輻射，提供多樣的花園景觀。同時，私人區域包括兩間臥室及一個可供未來擴建的大空間，從次中庭延展而出。
The layout introduces a fresh housing typology in its residential area, softening the boundaries between indoor and outdoor, public and private spaces. The house is a seamless sequence of spaces that gently transition between levels of privacy. A promenade through a dry garden leads residents to an open, roofed entrance porch that serves as a threshold, connecting the front garden to the private backyard with a swimming pool.
Once inside, two skylighted halls serve as the nucleus of activity. Social spaces such as the kitchen, living, and dining areas radiate from the main hall in a V-shape, offering divergent views of the garden. Meanwhile, private areas—two bedrooms, including one en suite, and a future-expandable space—extend from the secondary hall.
作為未來生活的永續原型，本案僅運用三種材料：混凝土、木材及玻璃，實現預製化建築系統。結構外殼採用 BauPanelTM 系統，結合鍍鋅鋼網、混凝土層及中間絕緣芯，形成 20 厘米厚的結構圍護，提供絕佳的熱絕緣及隔音效果。
Designed as a prototype, Synapse House is a sustainable model for future living. Its semi-prefabricated construction system uses a mere three materials: concrete, wood, and glass. The insulated shell, made with BauPanelTM, combines a galvanized steel mesh, concrete layers, and a central insulation core to form a 20-centimeter-thick structural envelope that provides superior thermal and acoustic insulation. Radiant heating and cooling systems embedded in polished concrete floors further enhance energy efficiency.
拋光混凝土地板內嵌輻射提供溫暖與降溫系統，透過絕緣與遮陽設計、交叉通風及自然光引入等手法，讓此宅全年舒適宜人，再加上光伏板、熱泵及 LED 照明等系統實現零碳足跡，重新詮釋建築、自然與人類生活之間的和諧關係。
Passive strategies, including continuous insulation, sun-shaded south-facing windows, cross ventilation, and indirect natural lighting, ensure year-round comfort, while active systems like photovoltaic panels, heat pumps, and LED lighting make it a zero-carbon home. Synapse House exemplifies a new paradigm in construction, embracing sustainable innovation and reimagining the relationship between architecture, nature, and human living.
