Servo Stockholm’s Hydrophile immerses and promotes the
natural environment with its uniquely designed roof containing vegetation. The
roof of this project predominantly encourages the possibility of being able to
walk through the dense landscape, and utilising the lights within the structure
from the interior through to the ground above. The parametric responsiveness
with its environment is further seen in its architectural design which consists
of protuberant shaped model that directs any flow of water to organic matter to
help sustain the land. In order to maintain this, the materiality of the roof
is designed in somewhat thick substrate layers in meadow areas, and thinner
layers on dryer land. Through analysing the model further, the roof doesn’t just
help with the enclosure factor of the building, but also dwell within the interior
of the structure allowing the environment to also penetrate into the atmosphere
whilst inside the structure.
The SHolm House also promotes the blending with its
environment with its interaction between organic and synthetic matter in
architecture. This design uniquely interacts with the exchange of natural
energy particularly with heat and light and how it transfers its energies
through an architectural medium and atmospheric moods with the varying lighting
and colour intensity. The walls of the SHolm House are made up of expanded clay
which contains air-filled cavities which strengthens thermal insulation
features of its design. Like the Hydrophile project, the SHolm House is also
designed partially with a green roof with porcelain tiles which also direct the
flow of water to the vegetation. Analysing further in its appearance brings
about the parametric responsiveness through the connection between the roof and
the ground in the centre of the house. This further allows the interior of the
house to be exposed to light and heat on the vegetation which might reflect
various colours within the house.
