About Double Skin An Taigh

Tha an togalach seo na structar fiodha trì-sgeulachd ann an sgìre dùmhail de Tokyo. Ged a tha an làrach beag agus nach eil an astar bhon fhearann ri thaobh ach mu 1m, bha feum air solas agus prìobhaideachd. Air a bhrosnachadh leis an shoji traidiseanta Iapanach a tha a’ bogachadh an t-solais, tha an dealbhaiche air sìoltachan solais ùr-nodha a chruthachadh a tha an aghaidh gaoth is uisge agus a ghabhas cleachdadh a-muigh cuideachd. Bidh an còmhdach gluasaid air an aghaidh a’ bogachadh an t-solais bhon taobh a-muigh agus a ’toirt air falbh faicsinneachd an dà chuid luchd-siubhail agus luchd-còmhnaidh. Air an oidhche, bidh an aghaidh aotrom gu bhith na sholas mòr airson na sràidean a shoilleireachadh.

Tags: House, Minimal, Simple, Compact, Facade, Light, Double skin, Polycarbonate, Japan
Production Technology: The translucent cladding:
Polycarbonate is used as a weatherproof and semi-transparent material, and to enhance its strength, folded plates and flat sheets are attached with plastic bars.
Openings where it is necessary to block the view from the outside are covered with the translucent cladding, while emergency access and ventilation openings are exposed.
Inspiration: There is a traditional Japanese partition, the shoji, which is a way of ensuring light and privacy.
The shoji consists of a thin wooden frame covered with translucent paper, which softens the incoming light and blurs the interior.
Inspired by the shoji, the designer have created a modern light filter that is resistant to wind and rain and can also be used outside.
