About Nestled in the Green 주택

녹음 속에 자리한 집(Nestled in the Green)은 일본 히로시마현 다지리에 위치한 주택이다. 대지는 전형적인 일본 주택가에 자리하며, 북쪽으로는 나지막한 산이, 남쪽으로는 세토내해가 펼쳐진다. 이 주택은 과거 유럽풍 별장이 있던 부지에 지어졌으며, 별장은 철거되었으나 정원은 그대로 보존되어 가꾸어졌다. 여러 방향에서 정원과 산을 바라볼 수 있도록 주택의 배치와 창의 크기를 면밀히 검토했다. 창을 열면 나뭇잎이 스치는 소리와 새소리가 실내로 스며든다. 대지 면적은 713.24제곱미터이다.

Unique Properties
Wrapped by the surrounding nature, this house nestles closely within the environment in which it stands. Located in Tajiri-cho, Fukuyama, Japan, the neighboring buildings, apartments, and houses form this typical Japanese residential area. However, with small mountains stretching northward and the Seto Inland Sea to the south, one realizes this town is also surrounded by nature. Built on the plot of an former European-style vacation home, the house was demolished by the owner but the garden was tended to ever since. Like this town, the architecture creates a space wrapped delicately in nature.

Design Challenge
He thought about how he understood the environment, bringing nature inside and connecting it to the outside.
Then, spent a lot of time to make the inside space merge, blending in naturally like the space in nature.
Research
Focusing on the concept of nestling the architecture within nature, He began thinking about the house and the garden from various perspectives and alongside the landscape architect, He developed the form of the house, the size and positioning of the windows over and over until reaching a singular, encompassing space and form.
Inspiration
To create a feeling of familiarity with nature, the position of the house was considered so that from inside, both the garden and mountains can be viewed from many directions. This meant that depending on the season, the shifting colours of the flowers and trees, the fluttering of birds could be enjoyed.

When they open the windows, the sound of swaying leaves and chirping birds flow inside. He hoped those things would become a normality, imagining a life experiencing nature with their five senses.
