About The Sliced 住宅
「The Sliced」は、日本の岡山県備前市に建てられたコンパクトな住宅である。無駄な空間を削ぎ落とし、家族が集う空間と収納スペースを拡充した設計となっている。リビングは平面計画の中心に配置され、玄関から見通せる位置にあり、子供部屋へはリビングを通って行き来する構成とした。ダイニング、キッチン、浴室へも直接アクセスできる。2階は二方向から斜めに切り取られた形状とし、補強材を用いることで地震時にも木造の構造躯体が強度を保つよう配慮している。窓は自然の風景を切り取り、室内に自然光を導き入れる。

- Unique Properties
- The client's request was for a compact house, eliminating any wasted space while increasing the family and storage space. We designed the living room to be the central gathering area of the house, visible immediately after opening the front door. This means that the children cannot go to their rooms without passing through the living room. We also ensured that the living room provided instant access to the dining room kitchen and bathroom.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Site area 198.61 square metre
Total floor area 100.74 square metre

- Production Technology
- To ensure the building's strength wasn't compromised, special care was taken while cutting the first floor at an angle from two directions. Additionally, reinforcing wood was incorporated into the design to ensure the coexistence of both design and strength. This is particularly important in Japan, where earthquakes are frequent and buildings must be designed to withstand seismic activity.
- Design Challenge
- Due to budget constraints, siding was used in areas not visible to the public instead of finishing all exterior walls with mortar.
Designing structures to withstand frequent large earthquakes in Japan is a major challenge. - Research
- Creating color schemes that blend well with natural surroundings and ensuring privacy from the surrounding areas.
- Inspiration
- The house is simple but unique, looking like a cut up block of cheese from a cartoon. It is as if you cut a piece of cheese piece and walk inside.The windows provide a view of nature which changes with the seasons. Other windows let in light and the building is designed ecologically requiring no electricity during the day.
- Project Duration
- It was constructed in June 2022 in Bizen City, located in Okayama Prefecture Japan.
- Operation Flow
- The housekeeping lines are designed in a compact and organized manner, which allows the residents to live functionally and efficiently.
