Double Roof House

Tainan, Taiwan, 2024


A 60-year-old red-brick church is located next to the site, which was renovated by us a year ago and given a name as Church of Church. The mission was to build a new complex of a residence, a warehouse and a playground next to it. Each part is independent at its function, but all are brought together under such occasional condition. Our intention is to avoid interference from different function but retain certain connections with others.

The overall system of the building is formed by an in-between space that is yet to be defined and corresponding to the central axis opening of the adjacent old church. A steel structure system was applied to the new building, creating a contrast between the lightness of steel and the weightiness of brick that performed by the 60-year-old church on one side. The appearance of the building is like a random variation of iron-clad houses commonly seen in the countryside. It is a building with two sets of large double-sloping roofs, as well as two separate buildings with own double-sloping roof at the same time. It is born with complex and contradictory; it is a warehouse as well as a residence. The related but different structural systems and architectural languages are contributed and shared by the two buildings. The fragments of architectural elements inherit the articulations of architectural elements within Church of Church. The openings of varied heights and scales bridge the internal and external of the building while retaining privacy, enlarging the perceptible openness when being inside.基地相鄰六十年紅磚老教堂，一年多前由我們設計改修完成，命名為Church of Church，在它一側要建一座結合儲藏庫房、提供居住與孩童遊戲區的新建築。各個部分的使用功能都是獨立的，在這個偶然的條件下被集合起來，我們嘗試讓各分區的空間使用不互相影響卻不完全阻隔，而具有一定的關聯性。

建築物由不定義使用功能的半戶外空間對應相鄰舊建築的中軸開口架構起整體系統，主體結構為鋼結構系統，與一側六十年的紅磚建築產生一輕一重的對比差異，外觀看似鄉野間常見的鐵皮建築的變異者，是一棟有著一個兩組雙斜大屋面的建築，亦是兩棟各自有著雙斜屋面的建築，它帶著複雜與矛盾性，是倉庫也是住宅。新舊建築間共享型態相關卻不相同的構造系統與建築語言，片斷化的建築元素延續了Church of Church內部空間結構元素的表達，不同高度與尺度的開口在保有居住隱私前提下，連結建築物的室內外空間，創造了更加開放的室內空間感受。
