About House in Akashi 주택
아카시의 주택은 일상의 삶을 자연과 가깝게 이어주기 위해 설계된 단층 주택이다. 이 주택은 용도와 사생활 보호 정도에 따라 세 개의 영역으로 나뉘며, 각 영역은 고유한 정원과 콘셉트를 지닌다. 가족의 생활, 수확, 자연을 즐기기 위한 공간들은 건축주의 관심사에 맞추어 계획되었다. 공용 공간은 넓게, 개인실은 작게 구성하여 자연스럽게 어울리는 분위기를 유도한다. 둘러싸인 중정은 부드러운 자연광을 실내로 끌어들이며 내부와 외부의 경계를 흐린다. 구조는 일본의 전통 공법에 따라 전체가 목재로 지어졌다.

- Unique Properties
- A minimalist house designed to immerse one with nature, promoting a unique lifestyle. The house is divided into three zones based on purpose and degree of privacy, each with a garden and unique concept. Areas for family, harvest and celebrating nature are carefully designed and tailored to the client’s interests, and the courtyards naturally and softly light the house. The prominence of nature within the design and sensory experiences serves to blur the boundaries between outside and inside.

- Production Technology
- Arbol have a deep understanding of the merits of various types of timber for different purposes; this allowed the design to be constructed entirely from wood with no sacrifice to the performance. The project is therefore extremely sustainable in its construction, offering a design which is in harmony with the nature it celebrates.
- Design Challenge
- The key challenge was to incorporate all the essential spaces within a small site area, on a single storey while still hosting elements which are essential to the house's artistic vision, such as courtyards and the surrounding walls for privacy.
- Inspiration
- The project is inspired by ideas of how the user is immersed within nature. The project is motivated by the pursuit of an environment that maximises communal space and harmonises wind, nature, sunlight, lifestyle and privacy. These elements are all contained within a structure influenced by the conventional method -zai rai kou hou- of traditional Japanese wooden construction.
- Project Duration
- The design started in April 2017, and construction lasted from January - July 2018. The house is located in Akashi city in Hyogo prefecture, Japan.
- Operation Flow
- The house is designed specifically around the client’s lifestyle and desire for an environment promoting tranquillity and deep comfort. Communal space is as large as possible while private rooms are as small as possible, encouraging a social atmosphere. Enclosing the gardens within the house allows for the intended vision to be realised regardless of the immediate surroundings, thus capturing the endless expanse of the outer world within a city dwelling.
