About Timeless 住宅

内部では、この住宅は大小二つの中庭が並列に配置されることで特徴づけられている。主庭は南側にあり、玄関に足を踏み入れた際に視線を引き込む竹林を配している。北側にあるスリット状の小さな中庭にも植栽が点在し、光庭として機能することで、1階のリビングルームや玄関、さらに2階のセカンドリビングを心地よい柔らかな拡散光で満たしている。

Unique Properties
Inside, the house is defined by two courtyards, one large and the other small, that are arranged in parallel. The main courtyard is on the south side and features a bamboo grove that draws the eye when one steps into the entryway. A smaller slit-shaped courtyard on the north side is also dotted with plantings and serves as a lightwell, filling the first-floor living room and entryway as well as a second living room upstairs with pleasant, diffuse light.

Inspiration
This house in a quiet residential neighborhood of central Tokyo was built for a couple who had long lived on the property but wanted to rebuild as they entered a new phase of life. The simple exterior design comprised of two massive volumes piled on top of each other takes advantage of the corner lot, with a façade of exposed concrete imprinted with cedar formwork. Outward-facing windows are limited to horizontal slits to preserve privacy and increase security.
