Passage of Landscape

 Back to Projects list
Location
Toyota, Aichi, Japan
Year
2014

This is a house for the family of three.

3 gate-shaped frames which compose wall, floor and ceiling are layered in tiers by 650mm for each direction. Outside lines of the surface of the wall and the ceiling are aligned with the inside lines, which makes internal and external eyes fall out smoothly. On the first floor, front room, living room, wood deck and garden form straight line toward the slope of tanada from north side. The first floor also connects to the dining room and the reading room on the second floor, through the gap of the frame from south side. In the second floor, the gaps of the frame of the ceiling become high side window for ventilation and lighting. The some plastering boxes are put between frames appropriately. They are shoes closet, pantry and restroom and so on.

I answered the client requests; "we want to awake in the morning sunlight", "we want to doze in the comfortable breeze", "we want to feel the atmosphere of the family anywhere in the house" and "but, we need lots of storage room". I feel that this house become "a passage of landscape" which can feel difference of light, wind, sound and width of the sky depending on the space and the inside and outside continue to the scenery.
