About The House for Contemporary Art 住宅は
この住宅は、「美術館のような家」を求める美術鑑賞者やアマチュアアーティストのために設計されました。雪深い日本海側の厳しい気候と空気の循環を考慮して計画されたこの構造は、大小の白い箱が空間を絵画のように囲むように構成されている。主要なコンセプトの 1 つは「シームレスな空間構成」です。美術館のギャラリーを巡るように、この家の空間を巡りながらオーナーの作品コレクションを眺めることができます。

RESPONSE TO THE ENVIRONMENT
The first was dealing with the snow. In regions with heavy snow, the shape of the roof is very important. Many homes are built on the assumption that someone will shovel the snow off the roof, but that’s a lot of heavy work, and dangerous. We decided on a flat roof with no parapet that would stay relatively snow-free because of wind action.
Our second thing was to create good airflow. - Dimensions & Packaging

- Design Challenge
- To encourage natural ventilation, we created a temperature differential by designing two gardens, one on the south side that would warm up easily, and one on the north side that would remain cool. This is a traditional design method used in Kyoto townhouses.
- Research
- It goes without saying that our top priority was fulfilling the client’s wishes. We began by measuring the many works of art that the client had created and collected over the years. Next, we held a number of planning meetings to discuss where to display each work of art, among other issues. For instance, we determined the height of the living room ceiling based on the wall size that could accommodate a painting measuring over 1.5 x 1 meter. In addition to the art collection, the client also has a large number of old records, mostly jazz. It was important for us to figure out a way to display them.
- Inspiration
- We designed this home for an art appreciator and amateur artist who wanted a house like an art museum. Planned with careful consideration for air circulation as well as for the harsh, snowy climate of the Japan Sea coast, the structure is composed of white boxes of varying scale that frame spaces like pictures.
- Project Duration
- Fukui Prefecture, JAPAN
- Operation Flow
- You can circulate through the spaces in this home looking at the owner’s collection of artwork just as if you were passing through galleries in a museum.
