The Design

About Double Skin Rumah

Bangunan ini adalah struktur kayu tiga lantai di area Tokyo yang dibangun dengan padat. Meskipun situsnya kecil dan jarak dari tanah tetangga hanya sekitar 1m, diperlukan cahaya dan privasi. Terinspirasi oleh shoji tradisional Jepang yang melembutkan cahaya, perancang telah menciptakan filter cahaya modern yang tahan terhadap angin dan hujan serta dapat digunakan di luar ruangan. Kelongsong transparan pada fasad melembutkan cahaya dari luar dan mengaburkan visibilitas baik pejalan kaki maupun penghuninya. Pada malam hari, fasad yang menyala menjadi cahaya besar untuk menerangi jalanan.

Production Technology
The translucent cladding:
Polycarbonate is used as a weatherproof and semi-transparent material, and to enhance its strength, folded plates and flat sheets are attached with plastic bars.
Openings where it is necessary to block the view from the outside are covered with the translucent cladding, while emergency access and ventilation openings are exposed.
Inspiration
There is a traditional Japanese partition, the shoji, which is a way of ensuring light and privacy.
The shoji consists of a thin wooden frame covered with translucent paper, which softens the incoming light and blurs the interior.
Inspired by the shoji, the designer have created a modern light filter that is resistant to wind and rain and can also be used outside.
