The Design

About House in Niigata Edificio Residencial

House in Niigata é unha vivenda privada deseñada para unha familia de catro membros nunha zona residencial antiga e densamente construída. Os muros exteriores están feitos de material de madeira lixeiramente coloreado en gris, de xeito que o edificio harmoniza coas rúas circundantes. A planta está organizada arredor de dous xardíns. Un patio pechado por un muro de formigón sitúase na planta baixa, e unha terraza de cuberta enmarcada por unha reixa de madeira sitúase na segunda planta. Todas as habitacións dan a estes dous xardíns, polo que non son necesarios elementos de protección visual como cortinas. Empregouse construción tradicional en madeira.

Tags: Houses, Houses with courtyards, Gardens, Cityscapes
Production Technology: Traditional wooden construction method
Design Challenge: Many of the old residential areas are densely populated.
The impact of architecture on the cityscape is great.
I created a good cityscape and thought of a house where you can feel nature.
Research: We built a courtyard and a roof terrace, and thought about balancing the contradictions of openness and privacy.
We have verified how to take in light and wind many times.
Therefore, we have realized openness and a private space.
Inspiration: Many houses are lined up in old residential areas in urban areas.
The surrounding houses are all built at the same time.
The exterior is made of similar industrial material.
In an old residential area, I wanted to change the uniform cityscape while cooperating with the cityscape.
Even in a residential area in an urban area, I thought of a house that feels nature.
Project Duration: Construction started in 2017 in Niigata, Japan. Completed in 2018.
Operation Flow: On the first floor, we created a courtyard surrounded by a concrete wall.
On the second floor, we made a roof terrace and surrounded it with a wooden lattice and an outer wall.
All the rooms have been placed in these two gardens.
The garden creates a private space.
There is no need for blindfolds such as curtains.
The connection with the outside will be strengthened positively.
I thought that feeling nature in everyday life was an open house.
