The power of light

Light plays a key role in the design of Touching Eden House. The architects explain how they harnessed the power of the sun to create a space that is both serene and stimulating.

"In the tropics, light changes dramatically throughout the day," they say. "We wanted to capture this sense of movement and transformation in the house. By carefully considering the placement of windows and shading, we were able to create a space that feels connected to nature while offering respite from the intense sunlight."

The use of biophilic design, which incorporates natural elements such as plants into the architecture, further enhances the sense of calm. It's a space where you can truly escape the hustle and bustle of urban life.

Connecting people with nature

The Eden House shows that people can live in harmony with nature even in busy cities. The architects think that modern life often isolates us from the natural world, but there's a growing desire to connect.

"Biophilic design is a key strategy for bringing nature indoors," they explain. "By incorporating natural materials, plants, and even water features, we can create spaces that promote well-being and reduce stress".



A vision for the future

When asked about the future of architecture, architects are optimistic. They believe that technology will play an important role in creating a more sustainable and equitable world.

"We must use technology to address challenges such as climate change and inequality," they say. "We can build buildings that benefit the planet and its inhabitants by inventing fresh materials, building techniques, and energy-saving devices."

The architects want a future where architecture and nature are inseparable. Buildings will be designed to work with the natural environment instead of against it. It's a vision that is both inspiring and achievable.
