The visual design of Orient House IV eschews flair and flamoyance, allowing the shape and materials to define its visual identity. Natural, naked woods line every inch of the home that is not open to the interior, showing off an aged look that suggests reclaimed sourcing. Tall, strategically-placed windows provide natural lighting and passive climate control, another element of this home’s efficient design philosophy. A home so simple in shape may not be the apple of every eye, but it’s hard not to appreciate the subtle beauty of a home like this. Both visually and economically, it is designed to blend into its environment and provide a sensible, peaceful lifestyle for its inhabitants.
