Description(English)	The project integrates architecture with nature, embodying the homeowner's Zen Buddhist philosophy. Located beneath the Luye Plateau, it centers around a historic camphor tree. Key features include a northeastern wall to block cold winds and a double-insulated roof for cooling. Unique spaces like a stargazing platform enhance nature interaction. Sustainability is prioritized with minimal construction waste and a composite structure of light steel, metal, concrete, and wood. Using local materials like fair-faced bricks and timber supports local economies, reduces carbon emissions, and improves air circulation and mental well-being.
Description(Native)	空間設計特色像是藉由自然坡道或直接攀爬樹木變可直達觀星平台的獨特功能性空間，強調與自然的直接互動並提供絕佳的視野。御風居在設計中極力強調環境保護和永續發展，最大限度減少建築廢棄物，不僅是透過提高地板來增強通風，以及使用輕鋼構、金屬、RC及木造的複合式結構，減少建築過程中的廢棄物。層隔熱屋頂和大面積的南向開口共同作用，降低能源消耗。使用當地材料和技術，如清水磚和原木，支持當地經濟並減少運輸碳足跡。這些元素提升了居住空間的舒適度和健康性，更符合在地文化和氣候條件，融入了本地材料，支持當地經濟並減少碳排放。 本案更獨特之處還在於與現有地形的完美融合，以及對當地文化和氣候影響相互呼映，住宅設計包含多個獨特的機能性空間，由自然坡道步行至屋頂的觀星平台，以及可以直接爬樹到屋頂的路徑，這些設計巧思提供了不平凡的視野，更強化了與大自然的連接。 此項目不僅體現了建築師對於環境與人文的深刻理解，也展示了如何透過創新的建築設計實踐，實現環境保護和提高生活品質的目標。
