The project is located at the eastern foot of Mogan Mountain in Deqing City. The site retains the texture of the existing farmland and the long valley tourist corridor, and the outline of the site takes on an irregular shape, measuring about 109 meters from north to south and 112 meters from east to west. The total land area is about 10,000 square meters. The overall height of the slope increases from west to east and from north to south. In this project, we tried to break through the experience-based community under the real estate model, and realize the reconstruction of contemporary settlements and the shaping of new life social vacation carriers.

Before the remodeling, there was an opening only on the roadside. Therefore, the inside was very dark. It was dark and poorly breathable, so I thought I couldn’t live a very comfortable life. And this house is a family of four, an owner, a mother, an aunt, and a son.

The intention for the project was to create an expressive, distinctive and dynamic home. Shutter House is an imaginative and unique new home situated in Wembley, Western Australia overlooking picturesque Lake Monger (traditionally referred to as ‘Keiermulu’ by the indigenous Noongar people). A concrete block structure is enveloped by a delicately layered secondary timber batten ‘skin’. An operable façade opens and closes, creating a sense of enclosure and intimacy whilst still allowing unobstructed views to the adjacent lake at the leisure of residents, the vertical profiles cause a dynamic play of light and shadow within.
