Production Technology
Complex and daring space configuration is building strength will be anxiety. Sufficient structural analysis was carried out to safely construct this open house, and it was constructed firmly and safely using large-section laminated wood and metal joints. In Japan, which is an earthquake-prone country, structural calculations are extremely important and the utmost consideration is being given to the heavy use of wood structures.
Design Challenge
Each floor should also realize a large space with few pillars and a large opening. We will realize these with a wooden structure and create a design with even higher openness toward the realization of a low-carbon society. Furthermore, ensuring excellent design while ensuring earthquake resistance in Japan, a safe earthquake-resistant country, is a major issue.
Project Duration
The project was completed in Hyogo, Japan in November 2020
Operation Flow
The well-arranged shapes of trees and houses effectively block the line of sight of passers-by. Indoor space that spread to multiple directions, spread the line of sight in various directions, while ensuring the privacy, outdoor space is also taken into the room, and to enrich the lives create a richer living space.
Research
It was built as a villa as a weekend house, but does the appeal of the building increase the frequency of use by people? As with hobbies and tastes, the comfort that can be perceived as a space speaks to the sensibility of the owner.
Inspiration
To secure the view and design while closing the line of sight from the outside, we used the method of constructing a frame with a building. I think that the landscape that extends beyond a moderately closed space will be a painting with a frame.
