About U Shaped 住宅
U Shapedは、2020年に日本の鳥取県に建てられた住宅である。道路に面する部分は壁で閉じられ、窓は外部からの視線を遮るために高い位置に設けられている。リビングは平面の中心に位置し、吹き抜けと中庭に向かって開かれた大きなガラス壁を備えている。キッチン、ダイニング、寝室、子供室はリビングを囲むように配置され、家族が互いの気配を感じられるようになっている。外装は木、タイル、左官仕上げを組み合わせている。木造の構造は断熱性能を高めたパッシブデザインに基づいている。

widely an open space.
The living room is located in the center of the house, ensuring stable lighting throughout the

deferent spaces.

PORTERS PAINTS - Design Challenge
- The planned site was adjacent to a public facility across the road, and was a place where a
large number of unspecified people came and went, so it was a challenge to ensure both
privacy and a sense of openness.
In this design, the problem was solved by using the part facing the road as a wall and
placing the windows in a high position. In addition, in order to maintain a sense of
openness, it was necessary to devise a structure to realize the maximum space within the
standards of Japanese wooden construction regulations. - Research
- The important points in the design of this house are the privacy and the layout that the
family can always see each other. The solution was led both by visiting the planned site
many times, studying the flow of people in the surrounding area and how the light entered,
and by having numerous conversations with the client. Even in Japan, the airtightness and
heat insulation performance have been improved because the temperature varies
depending on the season. It is an ecological passive design. - Inspiration
- The client's request was to create a house where family members can feel each other's
existence wherever they are in the house.
The living room is placed in the center of the house, and the kitchen, dining room,
bedroom, and children's room are placed around the living room, so that family members
can face each other at living room which creates more communication in family. - Project Duration
- Built in Tottori, Japan in 2020
- Operation Flow
- We repeatedly verified how high and deep the walls should be placed from the road to
maintain privacy in the living room and courtyard.
The carification allows clients to live comfortably with their families while maintaining their
privacy.
