The Design
About U Shaped Casa Residencial
U Shaped és una casa residencial construïda a Tottori, Japó, l'any 2020. Les parts orientades al carrer estan tancades amb parets, i les finestres s'hi col·loquen en una posició elevada per bloquejar les vistes des de l'exterior. El saló se situa al centre de la planta, amb un sostre obert i una gran paret de vidre que s'obre a un pati interior. La cuina, el menjador, el dormitori i l'habitació dels infants s'organitzen al voltant del saló, de manera que els membres de la família puguin percebre's mútuament. L'exterior combina fusta, rajoles i superfícies estucades. L'estructura de fusta segueix un disseny passiu amb un aïllament millorat.

widely an open space.
The living room is located in the center of the house, ensuring stable lighting throughout the

deferent spaces.

PORTERS PAINTS - Design Challenge
- The planned site was adjacent to a public facility across the road, and was a place where a
large number of unspecified people came and went, so it was a challenge to ensure both
privacy and a sense of openness.
In this design, the problem was solved by using the part facing the road as a wall and
placing the windows in a high position. In addition, in order to maintain a sense of
openness, it was necessary to devise a structure to realize the maximum space within the
standards of Japanese wooden construction regulations. - Research
- The important points in the design of this house are the privacy and the layout that the
family can always see each other. The solution was led both by visiting the planned site
many times, studying the flow of people in the surrounding area and how the light entered,
and by having numerous conversations with the client. Even in Japan, the airtightness and
heat insulation performance have been improved because the temperature varies
depending on the season. It is an ecological passive design. - Inspiration
- The client's request was to create a house where family members can feel each other's
existence wherever they are in the house.
The living room is placed in the center of the house, and the kitchen, dining room,
bedroom, and children's room are placed around the living room, so that family members
can face each other at living room which creates more communication in family. - Project Duration
- Built in Tottori, Japan in 2020
- Operation Flow
- We repeatedly verified how high and deep the walls should be placed from the road to
maintain privacy in the living room and courtyard.
The carification allows clients to live comfortably with their families while maintaining their
privacy.
