About House in Niigata Residensiële Gebou

Huis in Niigata is 'n privaat huis wat ontwerp is vir 'n gesin van vier in 'n ou en dig beboude residensiële gebied. Die buitemure is gemaak van houtmateriaal wat liggies grys gekleur is, sodat die gebou harmonieer met die omliggende strate. Die plan is georganiseer rondom twee tuine. 'n Binnehof, omring deur 'n betonmuur, is op die grondvloer geplaas, en 'n dakterras, omraam deur 'n houtlatwerk, is op die tweede verdieping geplaas. Al die kamers kyk uit op hierdie twee tuine, sodat afskerming soos gordyne nie nodig is nie. Tradisionele houtkonstruksie is gebruik.

Design Challenge
Many of the old residential areas are densely populated.
The impact of architecture on the cityscape is great.
I created a good cityscape and thought of a house where you can feel nature.
Research
We built a courtyard and a roof terrace, and thought about balancing the contradictions of openness and privacy.
We have verified how to take in light and wind many times.
Therefore, we have realized openness and a private space.
Inspiration
Many houses are lined up in old residential areas in urban areas.
The surrounding houses are all built at the same time.
The exterior is made of similar industrial material.
In an old residential area, I wanted to change the uniform cityscape while cooperating with the cityscape.
Even in a residential area in an urban area, I thought of a house that feels nature.
Project Duration
Construction started in 2017 in Niigata, Japan. Completed in 2018.
Operation Flow
On the first floor, we created a courtyard surrounded by a concrete wall.
On the second floor, we made a roof terrace and surrounded it with a wooden lattice and an outer wall.
All the rooms have been placed in these two gardens.
The garden creates a private space.
There is no need for blindfolds such as curtains.
The connection with the outside will be strengthened positively.
I thought that feeling nature in everyday life was an open house.
