About The House for Contemporary Art 주거는

이 집은 “미술관 같은 집”을 원하는 미술 감상가이자 아마추어 예술가를 위해 설계되었습니다. 일본해 연안의 혹독한 눈 기후와 공기 순환을 고려하여 계획된 이 구조는 그림과 같은 공간을 구성하는 다양한 크기의 흰색 상자로 구성됩니다. 주요 개념 중 하나는 'Seamless Spatial Composition'입니다. 마치 박물관의 갤러리를 지나는 것처럼 집주인의 소장품을 바라보며 이 집의 공간을 순환할 수 있다.

Unique Properties
SEAMLESS SPATIAL COMPOSITION
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.

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.

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.
