The
design concept for this house emerged from the owner’s wood processing business
and deep passion for woodwork, leading the designer to conceive it as a “wood
museum.” The house emphasizes wood as a primary component throughout its
floors, walls, and ceilings, both interior and exterior, utilizing modern wood
assembly and installation technologies. The property borders streets on two
sides and backs onto a large village lake. Predominantly clad in wood to
resemble a traditional wooden house, the ground floor P-shaped layout is
overlaid by a modern white L-shaped upper floor. A central courtyard with a
fish pond allows natural light to efficiently penetrate the building. A wooden
tunnel archway extends from the small entrance gate, serving as a welcoming
hall from the front of the house and stretching as a gallery walkway to the
back. This tunnel-like feature creates an adventurous feeling through a process
of “curiosity and discovery,” inspiring the name “Woodcave House.”
