About House for Parents Wenning

Hûs foar Alden is in wenning op it eilân Amami-Oshima, in gebiet mei in swier subtropysk klimaat en faak foarkommende tyfoanen. In grut rjochthoekich dak wurdt stipe troch in stielen skeletkonstruksje mei in spanwiidte fan fjouwer meter. It dak makket in koel en skaadrike ynterieur, ferlykber mei de romte ûnder grutte beammen. De betonnen muorren steane los fan de dakkonstruksje, dat de plattegrûn is frij fan beheiningen dy't feroarsake wurde troch kolommen. Utstekkende betonnen muorren wreidzje de mienskiplike romten nei bûten út, rjochting it omlizzende eilânlânskip.

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.
