About Rising 1 Balay

Ang Rising 1 usa ka duha ka andana nga balay nga hinimo sa kahoy nga gitukod sa Tottori, Japan. Ang gawas nga bahin gihiusa pinaagi sa usa ka kolor nga mga tile, nga naghatag sa bilding og simple ug kalmado nga presensya. Pipila lamang ka bintana ang nag-atubang sa gawas, mao nga ang taas nga lebel sa pribasiya napadayon. Ang mga kwarto gihan-ay sa usa ka padayon nga loop palibot sa sentral nga courtyard. Gikan sa living, dining ug kitchen area, ang tanang kwarto makita tabok sa courtyard. Ang double-height nga espasyo ug taas nga mga bintana nagdala og malumo nga kahayag sa adlaw ngadto sa sulod. Ang gidak-on sa yuta 305 ka metro kwadrado ug ang gidak-on sa bilding 145 ka metro kwadrado.

Design Challenge
In Japan, where rainfall is frequent drainage systems are typically required however to avoid compromising the architectural design, this project incorporates a carefully considered roof form that disperses rainwater. This approach ensures functional performance while preserving the visual integrity of the building.
Research
This residence employs a restrained lighting strategy in which ceiling fixtures are minimized except in areas requiring higher levels of illumination such as the kitchen with indirect and accent lighting used to establish a calm and restful atmosphere. By lowering the ceiling heights of the private rooms a clear distinction is established from the double-height living space enabling a diversity of spatial scales to be experienced within a single dwelling.
Inspiration
To ensure privacy the house is designed in a courtyard layout forming a continuous loop around the central garden.
From the living dining and kitchen area all rooms can be seen across the courtyard through the windows
allowing the presence of family members to be felt at all times.
Organized around the courtyard the spaces are gently connected creating a home that respects a sense of closeness
while allowing each person to spend time comfortably.
Project Duration
Built in Tottori, Japan in 2025
Operation Flow
The LDK limits the number of windows facing the exterior, and a tall double-height space is introduced to secure natural light. Windows are positioned at a higher level to bring soft daylight into the interior while maintaining privacy creating a bright and open living environment.
