About Two Sails Hús
Two Sails er hús við sjávarsíðuna hannað fyrir fjölskyldu tveggja kynslóða. Tveggja hæða timburbyggingin stendur í Okayama í Japan, með byggingarflatarmál upp á 250 fermetra á 800 fermetra lóð. Þakformið minnir á skipssegl og hjálpar til við að leiða náttúrulegt ljós og hafgolu inn í innra rýmið. Íbúðarrýmum er skipt í norður- og suðursvæði þannig að hvor kynslóð heldur sínu einkalífi. Yfirbyggður gangur tengir svæðin tvö saman og gerir kleift að fara á milli jafnvel á rigningardögum. Útveggirnir eru klæddir endingargóðum málmi sem þolir tæringu af völdum sjávarlofts.
