About Oiso Hillside Villa residencial

Oiso Hillside es una villa residencial ubicada en la prefectura de Kanagawa, Japón. El diseño respeta la forma natural del terreno en pendiente en lugar de nivelar el suelo para la construcción. Los niveles escalonados, un techo a doble altura sobre una zona de conversación hundida y una terraza de tres niveles configuran un interior dinámico. Desde los espacios de estar se pueden contemplar las vistas de las colinas y montañas circundantes. Un método antisísmico japonés con una estructura de pórtico rígido de madera permite amplios espacios diáfanos. La madera es el material interior principal, y algunas piezas antiguas aportan acentos.

Press Kit

Unique Properties
The villa is made not to disturb, but to embrace the land it stands on and its shape, flowing with the nature that surrounds it.
The design achieved a dynamic space by choosing not to level the ground for the construction, but to accommodate the design on it, which resulted in skipped floors, soaring 2-story ceiling over a sunken conversation place and 3-leveled deck, all combined in a compelling space to enjoy the beautiful views of the scenic landscape around it.
Soft materials like wood are dominant in the interior and few antique pieces add an accent to the design.
Dimensions & Packaging
The villa is 138 square meters (excluding the workshop and parking space on the street level) plus about 70 square meters deck area.

Production Technology
The SE structure, or Safety engineering structure is used here to achieve the open concept needed for this space. It is a Japanese Seismic-Resistant Method that uses wooden rigid-frame structure and enables the construction of vast free space that otherwise could only be achieved with high-cost steel structures.
Design Challenge
The client request was the house to function as a residence, office and workshop at the same time. The spaces must be separated from each other, yet should not feel isolated. The client did not wanted to feel like living, working and recreating in the same place, but did not wanted to separate the places either.
Research
The main research was focused on the site. Since the place is surrounded by hills and mountains, make the villa seismic-resistant and landslide-resistant was a priority. The results of the research are reflected in the structure with the use of reinforced concrete and SE method.
Inspiration
The main inspiration for the villa is the shape of the land itself. The place is surrounded by mountains and hills and is elevated 4 meters above the street level. Following the unique aspect of the land and immediate environment, the house is designed on various levels. The kitchen and dining, the living, even the deck are all on the first floor but all stand on different levels.
Project Duration
Located in kanagawa prefecture Japan. Research, design and construction period is between fall of 2020 to spring of 2022.
Operation Flow
The villa was built to respect and connect with the outside nature.
The admiration of the landscape is translated in the interior, accomplishing dynamic spaces which at the same time bring in the piece and tranquility of the nature.
