House in Sinjyo

Residential Building for Kiyoshi Sugimoto

The "House in Shinjo" has no windows outside. That is due to the site's unique condition, which is along the national highway bypass. The house has an inner courtyard like a hole in a square block as a device to let in light and wind while closing to the outside. The building is a wooden structure. In spite of the structural constraints, the designers focused on creating the open space that the client wanted. The interior floor plan was designed to allow the two people to live alone in a spacious and relaxed atmosphere, with a limited building area.

Unique Properties

The site is located in Tanabe City, Wakayama Prefecture, overlooked by a step down from a busy national highway bypass. The couple who built the house requested privacy from the national highway and a simple space like a hotel to relax for the two of them.

Production Technology

Wooden construction

Design Challenge

We focused on creating an open space despite the wooden structure's structural limitations.

Project Duration

Completion year:2018 Location:Tanabe,Wakayama,Japan

Operation Flow

The light court inserted into the square mass works as a device to collect light while protecting the privacy and gives the living room more space than its area.

Research

A study of the floor plan to achieve two contradictory goals at the same time: to let light and wind into the living space while blocking sound and sight from the bypass.

Inspiration

The site is almost a slope. We planned the maximum building area in a square on the small amount of flat land, with no openings outside for privacy. A spacious light court is placed on the south side of the house, shared by the living room and bathroom. A single wall that does not reach the ceiling separates the LDK from the water area to enjoy the light court space without being too segmented. We set the light court two stairs higher than the living room to feel closer to the outside.
