About The Belvedere Kay

Belvedere a se yon kay yon sèl etaj ki bati sou yon ti mòn nan Okayama, Japon. Kay la ranje tankou yon mize, konsa yon koleksyon atistik ka ekspoze e moun ka jwi li chak jou. Tout mi yo fèt an brik, yon fini senp ki mele byen ak lanati ki antoure kay la. Antre a vlope tout otou kay la, epi galri devan an gen yon plafon planch bwa klere. Wòch Towada ki soti nan Depatman Akita kouvri zòn antre a. Yon koridò plat mennen nan yon espas galri ki gen zèv atistik ak eklerajj dekoratif. De jaden enteryè ak limyè anlè yo pote limyè jou nan plan long kay la.

Production Technology
The wooden structure has a flat roof and has a considerable amount of insulation on it.
Design Challenge
The house is a long one-story building that requires adequate lighting. As per the client's request we avoided installing windows on the street side to maintain privacy. However we solved this problem by constructing two gardens in the middle of the building and incorporating top lights to ensure proper illumination.
Research
The house is a spacious single-story building situated on a hill with no other structures around it. As a result, we had extensive conversations on how to tackle the issue of summer heat. We resolved the problem by incorporating a substantial amount of insulation material on the roof and creating an air layer between the ceiling and the roof. Furthermore, we installed only a minimal amount of windows on the west side to enjoy the scenic view.
Inspiration
The client is very interested in art and artifacts and wanted a space where he could display his collection and enjoy it daily, so we proposed a house where he could enjoy his works as if it were a museum.
The proposed site for the house is on a hill, so we designed the house to be imposing, and the colors were chosen so as not to detract from the surrounding landscape.
Project Duration
Hayashima-cho, Tsukubo-gun, Okayama, Japan
Project period 3 years Completion in 2022
Operation Flow
The owner of this house was very specific about the materials used, such as wood, natural stone, and tiles, to achieve high quality. To ensure that the exterior stayed visually appealing even after many years of residency, it was designed on a traditional Japanese roof with deep eaves, while also making sure that the windows and doors were not visible.
