The Design

About Core Wohnhaus

Das geplante Grundstück liegt im hinteren Teil einer ruhigen Wohngegend und ist von dichter Häuserbebauung umgeben. Um das Gelände herum wurde ein hoher Zaun errichtet, die Außenfenster wurden auf ein Minimum beschränkt und jeder Bereich wurde in Schichten unterschiedlicher Höhe unterteilt, die um einen zentralen Lichtschacht zentriert waren. Im Inneren dieses Hauses, in dem die Privatsphäre geschützt ist, verbindet ein moderates Raumgefühl die Bewohner optisch und schafft einen Innenraum, der sich diagonal ausbreitet. Der Entwurf weist eine schlichte Struktur auf und schafft trotz seiner Geschlossenheit einen offenen Raum für die Bewohner.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Unique Properties: The planned site is located in the back of a quiet residential area. The owner wanted a home with complete privacy. A high fence is installed around the site, openings to the outside are kept to a minimum, and a wide opening is provided in the center to ensure privacy. In addition, the residential spaces of different heights are arranged around the central open ceiling, and the design that visually connects each space by separating each space creates a rich life.
Dimensions & Packaging: Site area: 408.90 Size: 293.42 Structure: Timber Floor: 2 For the purpose of realizing a low-carbon society, it is safely planned with a wooden structure that has secured strength by structural analysis. In Japanese wooden structures, it is often difficult to provide a large opening because the wall is proof stress, but it is possible to design a large space and a large opening by performing precise structural analysis even in a wooden structure. ..

Production Technology: Considering the heat insulation performance and durability performance of the building, the wooden structure mainly adopted in Japan was adopted. In that case, the complex and bold spatial composition makes the building strength uneasy. We conducted structural analysis and constructed it firmly and safely using large-section laminated wood and metal joints. In Japan, which is an earthquake-prone country, the structure is so important that the utmost consideration is being given.
Design Challenge: As a residential area in the city, it is the realization of a rich life that can be obtained with the openness of the housing, ensuring the privacy of residents. We will realize the low carbon demand of the building now required by the tree structure, and further create a design with high openness. Furthermore, it is a big challenge to secure superior designs while ensuring earthquake resistance in Japan of an earthquake-prone country safely.
Research: Is it safe to live in a house with large windows? Privacy is protected by design manipulation, and the interior space is divided into layers with different heights, and each layer is gently connected. Closed yet open housing is the solution. According to surveys, it is gaining popularity as a new type of urban housing that can solve the narrow Japanese landscape. We regularly conduct tours to explore third-person feelings.
Inspiration: The owner wanted a spacious space where each room can be overlooked while protecting privacy. A high fence is installed around the site, windows facing the outside are kept to a minimum, and each area is divided into layers with different heights centered on a large open ceiling in the center, and is gently connected. The appropriate sense of distance in the space visually connects the residents, creating a large indoor space that spreads diagonally.
Project Duration: The project was completed in Hyogo, Japan in FEB 2023
Operation Flow: The three-dimensional interior space spreads the eyes in various directions, creating a rich daily life while maintaining a good sense of distance. The rooms with different heights are placed around the central open ceiling and visually connected. The three-dimensional interior space expands the line of sight in various directions and creates a rich daily space while protecting privacy.
