About Glass Wall 주거용 주택
글래스 월(Glass Wall)은 2022년 일본 히메지에 건축된 주거용 주택이다. 이 주택은 조용한 주거 지역의 언덕 위에 자리하며, 대지의 경사를 활용해 프라이버시를 확보한다. 넓은 실내 공간과 높은 내진 성능을 확보하기 위해 철근콘크리트 구조를 선택했다. 정면 입면은 단조로운 외관을 피하기 위해 서로 다른 높이로 배치된 세 개의 박스 형태로 분할되었다. 그중 한 부분에는 아트리움 공간에 빛을 들이는 유리 벽이 설치되어 있다. 콘크리트 벽면에는 삼나무 판재의 나뭇결을 전사하여 표면이 차갑게 느껴지지 않도록 했다.

Behind the Design

- Unique Properties
- The client desired a space that secures privacy and makes good use of the difference in elevation of the land.
For this reason a reinforced concrete structure was adopted which allows to keep large interior space and is highly earthquake resistant in Japan, a country prone to frequent earthquakes.
The front of the building has three box shapes arranged at different heights to avoid a monotonous design.
A glass wall is placed in one section. The interior of the glass wall is an atrium space that emits a fantastic light.
The lighting fixtures are the icon of the building. - Dimensions & Packaging
- Reinforced concrete construction land area 591 square meters building area 356 square meters

- Production Technology
- To maximize interior space and ensure the strength against earthquakes which occur often in Japan, reinforced concrete structures are used. The front appearance of the house is separated into three box shapes to avoid a monotonous design. Part of it has a glass wall In addition the wood grain of the cedar board is transferred to the concrete wall so that it does not look cold.
- Design Challenge
- While designing building plans exteriors and interiors we are considering a space design with light and shadow using natural lighting and artificial illuminance. They are affected by the time of day and the weather but the expression also changes depending on the material and color of the space. In this design walnut natural wood boards for the walls are used in the rooms but the walnut walls absorb more light than expected so expected brightness is not obtained. But the problem was solved by increasing the illuminance and adding new lighting equipment.
- Research
- An important aspect of the design of this house is the use of large glass openings in the living room, which has a high atrium, because the house is located on a hill, which allows for privacy from the outside.
By researching how light enters each season in the planned site, the living room was designed to be lit with sunlight all year round, to achieve both design and ecology and to improve performance. - Inspiration
- The planned site is a quiet luxury residential area. The surrounding housing complex is about 50 years old and has an old atmosphere. Uniquely designed houses will be odd in this area so harmonizing design with surrounding old houses and rich atmosphere is challenging and a priority. Also this location is on the hill where Himeji Castle World Heritage Site can be seen and the beautiful scenery is wide open in front of the site. So luxury but rustic appearance brings harmony and modern lifestyle but nature inspired inside design brings comfort.
- Project Duration
- Built in Himeji, Japan in 2022
- Operation Flow
- We examined how the difference in elevation of the land affected the design and everyday life including how to utilize effective space and ensure privacy.
We devised ideas to make the interior as comfortable as possible for the client by eliminating as many steps as possible. - Image Credits
