Next Generation Asian Home Design with 'Cocoon' Style




Taiwanese architect Kris Yao designed 'cocoon', The next generation Asian best home design, based on the protective covering of the same name. It consists of two main spaces a shell and a core. Series of arched steel beams construct the contour of the shell. Between the beams are bamboo and steel tubes laid out in a random fashion. On the inside of the shell a layer of moveable fabric stretches to provide shading. The core is divided into three separate levels which consists of a master bedroom with two terraces, living room, a study, a game room, gym and a kitchen. Between the core and the dining room is a swimming pool and Jacuzzi. The terraces of the master bedroom connect the inside to the outside.
