Dimensions & Packaging: Land area 800 square meters
Building area 250 square meters
Tags: House, Architects, Building, Japan, Sail
Production Technology: Two story wooden building
Design Challenge: The exterior walls are clad in durable metal materials that withstand the corrosive effects of sea breezes ensuring that the building maintains its striking appearance even in harsh coastal conditions.
Research: The residence is designed so that a two generation family can live with a comfortable sense of distance with the living spaces divided into northern and southern zones. A roofed corridor is provided to ensure seamless circulation between the areas allowing movement even on rainy days.
Inspiration: This house located near the sea is a two family residence characterized by a roof form reminiscent of a ship sail.The sail like roof gently captures the sea breeze and soft natural light creating a comfortable living environment throughout the home.The design allows the two households to respect each lifestyle while remaining gently connected creating a living environment that harmonizes with the surrounding natural landscape.
Project Duration: Built in Okayama, Japan in 2025
Operation Flow: It is designed to symbolize two vessels sailing side by side representing the hope that the family can live together harmoniously for generations.
