In December 2016, Dutch firm MVRDV revealed their designs for Y House, a strange new concept for a holiday villa.

Located in northeast Tainan, Taiwan, the 330 sq. m villa will provide the focal point for a new residential development, with its Y-shaped design and open-air swimming pool cradled by the angular roof.

[[File:LR2.jpg]]

Constructed from concrete, the design includes large circular holes that form windows in the exterior façade, as well as puncturing some internal partitions and floors.

The communal spaces – living and dining rooms – are given priority at the top of the volume, with bedrooms below. Circular openings in the ceiling will provide views up into the swimming pool, allowing dappled natural light to filter into the building. Bedrooms will be located on the lower levels.
