The Design

About House in Niigata Edificio residencial

La Casa en Niigata es una vivienda privada diseñada para una familia de cuatro personas en una zona residencial antigua y densamente edificada. Los muros exteriores están realizados en material de madera teñida en un tono gris claro, de modo que el edificio armoniza con las calles del entorno. La planta se organiza en torno a dos jardines: un patio interior delimitado por un muro de hormigón se sitúa en la planta baja, mientras que una terraza en la azotea enmarcada por una celosía de madera se ubica en la segunda planta. Todas las estancias se orientan hacia estos dos jardines, por lo que no se requieren elementos de protección visual como cortinas. Se empleó la construcción tradicional en madera.

Unique Properties: The planned site is located in an old residential area where many houses are densely lined up.
It is a private house where a family of four lives.
For the outer wall, the wooden outer wall material was lightly colored in gray to harmonize with the cityscape.
The color that seems to have changed over time fits into the old townscape.
The composition of the house made two gardens.
The garden creates a private space.
Dimensions & Packaging: Site area 158.60m2
Floor area 104.34m2
Tags: Houses, Houses with courtyards, Gardens, Cityscapes
Production Technology: Traditional wooden construction method
Design Challenge: Many of the old residential areas are densely populated.
The impact of architecture on the cityscape is great.
I created a good cityscape and thought of a house where you can feel nature.
Research: We built a courtyard and a roof terrace, and thought about balancing the contradictions of openness and privacy.
We have verified how to take in light and wind many times.
Therefore, we have realized openness and a private space.
Inspiration: Many houses are lined up in old residential areas in urban areas.
The surrounding houses are all built at the same time.
The exterior is made of similar industrial material.
In an old residential area, I wanted to change the uniform cityscape while cooperating with the cityscape.
Even in a residential area in an urban area, I thought of a house that feels nature.
Project Duration: Construction started in 2017 in Niigata, Japan. Completed in 2018.
Operation Flow: On the first floor, we created a courtyard surrounded by a concrete wall.
On the second floor, we made a roof terrace and surrounded it with a wooden lattice and an outer wall.
All the rooms have been placed in these two gardens.
The garden creates a private space.
There is no need for blindfolds such as curtains.
The connection with the outside will be strengthened positively.
I thought that feeling nature in everyday life was an open house.
