About Two Sails Tŷ

Tŷ glan môr yw Two Sails a ddyluniwyd ar gyfer teulu dwy genhedlaeth. Saif yr adeilad pren deulawr yn Okayama, Japan, gydag arwynebedd adeiladu o 250 metr sgwâr ar lain o 800 metr sgwâr. Mae ffurf y to yn dwyn i gof hwyl llong ac yn helpu i ddenu golau naturiol ac awelon y môr i mewn i'r tu mewn. Rhennir y mannau byw yn barthau gogleddol a deheuol, fel bod pob cenhedlaeth yn cadw ei phreifatrwydd ei hun. Mae coridor dan do yn cysylltu'r ddau barth ac yn caniatáu symud hyd yn oed ar ddiwrnodau glawog. Mae'r waliau allanol wedi'u gorchuddio â metel gwydn sy'n gwrthsefyll cyrydiad gan awyr y môr.
