About Double Skin Kuća

Ova zgrada je trospratna drvena konstrukcija u gusto izgrađenom području Tokija. Iako je lokacija mala i udaljenost od susjednog zemljišta je samo oko 1m, svjetlo i privatnost su bili potrebni. Inspirisan tradicionalnim japanskim šodžijem koji omekšava svetlost, dizajner je kreirao moderan svetlosni filter koji je otporan na vetar i kišu i može se koristiti i napolju. Prozirna obloga na fasadi omekšava svjetlost spolja i zamagljuje vidljivost kako prolaznika tako i stanovnika. Noću, osvijetljena fasada postaje veliko svjetlo za osvjetljavanje ulica.

Tags: House, Minimal, Simple, Compact, Facade, Light, Double skin, Polycarbonate, Japan
Production Technology: The translucent cladding:
Polycarbonate is used as a weatherproof and semi-transparent material, and to enhance its strength, folded plates and flat sheets are attached with plastic bars.
Openings where it is necessary to block the view from the outside are covered with the translucent cladding, while emergency access and ventilation openings are exposed.
Inspiration: There is a traditional Japanese partition, the shoji, which is a way of ensuring light and privacy.
The shoji consists of a thin wooden frame covered with translucent paper, which softens the incoming light and blurs the interior.
Inspired by the shoji, the designer have created a modern light filter that is resistant to wind and rain and can also be used outside.
