The Design

About House in Sinjyo Bangunan Hunian

House in Sinjyo adalah bangunan hunian satu lantai di Tanabe, Wakayama, Jepang. Tapaknya terletak di bawah jalan pintas jalan raya nasional yang ramai, sehingga rumah ini tidak memiliki bukaan pada dinding luarnya, yang melindungi privasi pasangan yang tinggal di dalamnya. Denah berbentuk bujur sangkar mengisi area datar yang sempit pada tapak berkontur miring tersebut. Sebuah light court di sisi selatan menghadirkan cahaya dan udara, serta digunakan bersama oleh ruang keluarga dan kamar mandi. Court tersebut diletakkan dua anak tangga lebih tinggi dari ruang keluarga. Sebuah dinding yang berhenti di bawah plafon memisahkan area hunian dari area basah. Strukturnya menggunakan kayu.

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.
