As Architects, we got assigned to justify the right of a client – teacher couple, to have designated space for their self nourishment – mentally, psychologically and emotionally so that their wellness is supposed to light up the lives of countless students/ future generations. For the architecture of a residence owned by a teacher couple, the house would need to reflect the teacher’s values: practicality, learning, hobbies, creativity, and calm. Teachers are not just deliverers of knowledge-they are motivators, guides, mentors, and emotional anchors in the classroom/society. The psychology of a teacher is grounded in caring, cognition, and commitment. A teacher’s mental and emotional world is shaped by a passion for helping others learn, and the daily psychological work they do is both deeply demanding and profoundly meaningful.We imagined the teacher’s home should balance simplicity with meaning thus the spaces are designed as open, natural light filled and intellectually stimulating.
