About Double Skin 家は
この建物は東京の住宅密集地にある木造3階建てです。隣地との距離が1m程度と狭い敷地ですが、採光とプライバシーが求められました。光を和らげる日本の伝統的な障子からインスピレーションを得て、デザイナーは風雨に強く屋外でも使用できるモダンな光フィルターを作成しました。ファサードの半透明の外装は外からの光を和らげ、通行人や居住者の両方の視界をぼやけます。夜になると、ライトアップされたファサードが大きな光となって街を照らします。

- 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. - Project Duration
