The Design

About House in Sinjyo Vivenda residencial

A Casa en Sinjyo é un edificio residencial dunha soa planta en Tanabe, Wakayama, Xapón. O terreo sitúase por debaixo dunha concorrida circunvalación da autoestrada nacional, polo que a casa non ten aberturas nas paredes exteriores, o que protexe a intimidade da parella que vive nela. Unha planta cadrada enche a pequena zona chá do terreo en pendente. Un patio de luz na cara sur achega luz e aire, e é compartido pola sala de estar e o baño. O patio sitúase dous chanzos por riba da sala de estar. Unha parede que remata por debaixo do teito divide a zona de estar da zona de auga. A estrutura é de madeira.

Unique Properties: The site is located in Tanabe City, Wakayama Prefecture, overlooked by a step down from a busy national highway bypass.
The couple who built the house requested privacy from the national highway and a simple space like a hotel to relax for the two of them.
Dimensions & Packaging: Site area　373.56m2　
Building area　110.69m2
Total floor area　94.26m2
Tags: House,Residential,Light Court,Square,One-story
Production Technology: Wooden construction
Design Challenge: We focused on creating an open space despite the wooden structure's structural limitations.
Research: A study of the floor plan to achieve two contradictory goals at the same time: to let light and wind into the living space while blocking sound and sight from the bypass.
Inspiration: The site is almost a slope. We planned the maximum building area in a square on the small amount of flat land, with no openings outside for privacy.
A spacious light court is placed on the south side of the house, shared by the living room and bathroom.
A single wall that does not reach the ceiling separates the LDK from the water area to enjoy the light court space without being too segmented.
We set the light court two stairs higher than the living room to feel closer to the outside.
Project Duration: Completion year:2018
Location:Tanabe,Wakayama,Japan
Operation Flow: The light court inserted into the square mass works as a device to collect light while protecting the privacy and gives the living room more space than its area.
