About House in Toyonaka Stambena kuća

Kuća u Toyonaki privatna je rezidencija u gusto naseljenoj stambenoj četvrti u sjevernom dijelu Osake u Japanu. Lokacija je okružena zbijenim kućama i nema dalekih pogleda, pa je privatnost bila glavna briga. Kuća stoga izbjegava velike prozore i ostaje zatvorena prema ulici. Stakleni pod, katovi na različitim razinama i krovni prozori omogućuju da se linija pogleda blago provlači kroz svaki dio interijera, smanjujući osjećaj zatvorenosti. Ograničeno dnevno svjetlo također čini protok vremena jasno zamjetljivim. Ukupna površina iznosi 107,62 četvorna metra.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Unique Properties: Located in a residential district in northern Osaka, this property is surrounded by closely packed houses and lacks any outstanding views. Due to the adjacent homes, maintaining privacy was of the utmost importance. The aim of the design was therefore to create a stimulating and beautiful space that nevertheless had no large windows and was closed to the outside world.
Dimensions & Packaging: Site Area：95.60 sqmt, Building Area：53.42 sqmt, Total Floor Area：107.62 sqmt, Max Height : 8.5m, Max Width : 8.4m, Max Depth : 9.5m
Design Challenge: A major issue was how to obtain a space that does not give a feeling of blockage while limiting the openings. With the glass floor, split-level floor, and skylights, it was possible to reduce the feeling of blockage by allowing the line of sight to slightly pass at each part of the house.
Inspiration: We believe small and enclosed space can be also comfortable. Even small gap to see outside can make small space comfortable. This kind of philosophy is maybe inspired by the traditional Japanese Architecture, especially tea ceremony room. Privacy is very important factor in this contemporary society so that this kind of philosophy should be considered again, we believe.
Project Duration: The project started in May 2016 and finished in June 2018 in Osaka, Japan.
Operation Flow: The limited openings contribute to privacy in dense residential areas. At the same time, limited sunlight makes the change of time sensitively perceived.
