About House in Yamate 住宅は

敷地内に入る夏と冬の日の出の角度を研究し、一年を通して日の出を捉える間取りを設計した。壁にはガラス張りを施し、日の出が降り注ぐ住空間を作り出しました。そこで夏の日差しや雨から居住空間を守るため、独立した大屋根を計画した。屋上は密閉された空間ではなく、風や意識が通り抜けるオープンな空間です。この建物の建設により、住む人が今まで以上に光と風を感じ、日常生活がより豊かになることを期待しているという。

Unique Properties
The angle of the sunrise at the summer and winter solstices entering the site was investigated, and a floor plan was designed to allow the sunrise to enter the building, with glass walls. Then, in order to protect the living space from the summer sun and rain, an independent large roof was planned. By creating an independent roof, we thought that the space would not be closed, but would be an open space where wind and consciousness could pass through.
Dimensions & Packaging
To give the appearance of a large roof supported by four pillars, H-shaped steel beams (250 x 250) were used for the beams, which were hidden inside the roof. In addition, to avoid making the columns too thick, circular steel columns of 267.4 x 12.7 (STK400) were used. In this way, the relationship between the stable roof and the independent house was stabilized.

Production Technology
A new RC digging garage was built at the location facing the road on the east side. The frame of the garage is also the foundation of the steel-frame structure. The residential portion is a wooden structure, completely separated from the steel structure. By completely separating the two structures, the residential portion was made independent, and was designed to take advantage of the different characteristics of each.
Inspiration
The site was an old development subdivision with a lowered east side. It was surrounded by houses. The height of the site is one level higher than the houses on the east side, and we wanted to create a plan that would allow the sunrise to enter the living space when standing on the site. When I visited Varanasi in India when I was a student, I saw people praying for the sunrise by scooping water from the Ganges River with both hands. I wanted to create a living space filled with such light.
Project Duration
The project started in Iwakuni in June 2018 and finished in December 2021
