Guest House of Runner Automobiles by Skeleton Architects
6 June, 2015From the Architect:
A form, a slanted cube evolved from redish soil of Valuka, Mymensingh ties its knot with the space, the jack-fruit court, thus a relationship grown: an open stair anchors the tilted form with the mother earth, with the shadows of surrounding greeneries. The Guest house of Runner Automobiles ltd. is located at 67 km north of Dhaka city. The house is built at the compound of automobile factory complex of Runner Group.
Architects initial intention was to compose a welcoming court around an existing sappy jack-fruit tree to introduce the foreign guests with the national fruit of Bangladesh, to tender the very welcoming nature of Bangladeshi household.
The Guest house is located diagonally with the cardinal direction, just to maximize the light & wind at all season there.Vertical rotation of entire cubic form creates an unexpected view over the back green field and thoughtful positioning of window at overhead surface makes a dramatic moonlight & raindrop experience to guest.
On the whole, the guest house with the open to sky living space, with multi-textured paves, shadows and greens make a sense of home, a very cordial environment.
