About Rising 1 Maison
Rising 1 est une maison en bois de deux niveaux construite à Tottori, au Japon. L'extérieur est unifié par des carreaux monochromes, qui confèrent au bâtiment une présence simple et sereine. Peu de fenêtres s'ouvrent vers l'extérieur, ce qui garantit un haut niveau d'intimité. Les pièces s'organisent en une boucle continue autour d'une cour centrale. Depuis l'espace séjour, salle à manger et cuisine, toutes les pièces sont visibles de l'autre côté de la cour. Un espace à double hauteur et des fenêtres hautes font pénétrer une lumière naturelle douce à l'intérieur. Le terrain couvre 305 mètres carrés et la surface bâtie 145 mètres carrés.

- House, Architecture, Architects, Building, Japan
- Production Technology
- Two-story wooden building
- Design Challenge
- In Japan, where rainfall is frequent drainage systems are typically required however to avoid compromising the architectural design, this project incorporates a carefully considered roof form that disperses rainwater. This approach ensures functional performance while preserving the visual integrity of the building.
- Research
- This residence employs a restrained lighting strategy in which ceiling fixtures are minimized except in areas requiring higher levels of illumination such as the kitchen with indirect and accent lighting used to establish a calm and restful atmosphere. By lowering the ceiling heights of the private rooms a clear distinction is established from the double-height living space enabling a diversity of spatial scales to be experienced within a single dwelling.
- Inspiration
- To ensure privacy the house is designed in a courtyard layout forming a continuous loop around the central garden.
From the living dining and kitchen area all rooms can be seen across the courtyard through the windows
allowing the presence of family members to be felt at all times.
Organized around the courtyard the spaces are gently connected creating a home that respects a sense of closeness
while allowing each person to spend time comfortably. - Project Duration
- Built in Tottori, Japan in 2025
- Operation Flow
- The LDK limits the number of windows facing the exterior, and a tall double-height space is introduced to secure natural light. Windows are positioned at a higher level to bring soft daylight into the interior while maintaining privacy creating a bright and open living environment.
