About House for Parents Egoitza

Gurasoentzako Etxea Amami-Oshima uhartean dagoen egoitza bat da, klima subtropikal gogorra eta tifoi ugari izaten dituen eremua. Estalki angeluzuzen handi bat lau metroko bao-luzera duen altzairuzko egitura batek eusten du. Estalkiak barrualde freskoa eta itzaltsua sortzen du, zuhaitz handien azpiko espazioaren antzekoa. Hormigoizko hormek estalkiaren egituratik modu independentean tinkatzen dute, eta, hala, solairuaren oina ez dago zutabeek eragindako murrizketen mende. Kanporantz proiektatzen diren hormigoizko hormek eremu komunak inguruko uhartearen paisaiarantz luzatzen dituzte.

Unique Properties
This house for parents located on Amami Island where is severe subtropical climate and often hit by typhoon. To tackle this climate, we install a large roof supported by 4 meter-span steel framework structure for a cool and shady environment as if it is a space under trees. Concrete walls are designed to stand independently to achieve a plan that is free from structure for the roof. The common areas are made to expend outwards with the projecting concrete walls as if it continues boundlessly.
Inspiration
As a traditional daily custom in this island, people gather and stay under the shadow of large trees. We aimed to create architecture that celebrate the culture of the region and lead to re-emerge the spirit of the traditional life in the island.
The space under the large roof which is supported by thin steel columns provide shady and cool comfortable interior that suite sever climate in the southern island.
