With Four Children

House for Toshiharu Yamashita

A house for a couple and their four children. There is a playroom in the center of the house, and four children's rooms are located facing each other. There are steps and windows between them. When the children open the window, the floor becomes a big desk where they study face to face. The four children's rooms become an integrated space and are connected to the first floor because the desks are made of glass. It is a space that connects the family at various distances.

Unique Properties

The four children's rooms were placed facing each other, with steps and windows between them. When the children open the windows, the floor becomes a large desk, and they study face-to-face. The four children's rooms become an integrated space, and the desk is made of glass to connect to the first floor. It became a space where families can be connected with various senses of distance.

Production Technology

When I was a child, I was given a study desk. But I never used it. It was painful for me to study facing the wall. A study desk limits where you can put things, and you can't spread out a sheet of paper. I was restricted in what I could write. The study desk became a stumbling block and eliminated many possibilities. In this house, the floor becomes the desk. The space is a big table. You can sit at the desk or run around. You can even draw big pictures. This expands the possibilities for the child.

Design Challenge

Since most of the people living in the area knew each other, privacy had to be considered.

Project Duration

June 2021 to October 2021

Operation Flow

Four children's rooms were placed across from each other, with steps and windows between them. When the children open the windows, the floor becomes a large desk. The four children's rooms become an integrated space. The desks are connected to the first floor by glass. The space became a place where the family is connected at various distances.

Research

Type of Research: House Design Research Objective: To enrich people's lives Methodology: Leaving margins that allow for change. Tools: CAD, CG, models Participants: None Result: Residents' lives are richer. Impact: spillover of the importance of creating space without function

Inspiration

A house for a couple and their four children. The client wanted to give each child a private room. The four children are close in age and play together all the time. We were concerned that having a private room would divide the family, so we decided to create a space where the children can feel connected even when they are in their own rooms.
