About House in Toyonaka Xaniyê Niştecihî

Xaniyê Toyonaka xaniyekî taybet e li herêmeke niştecihî ya çır û tijî li bakurê Ōsaka, Japon. Cih bi xaniyên li ba hev nêzîk hatiye dorpêçkirin û tu dîmenên dûr tune ne, loma nepenîtî xema sereke bû. Ji ber vê yekê xanî ji pencereyên mezin dûr dikeve û li hember kolanê girtî dimîne. Erdemekî camî, qatên nîv-bilind û pencereyên banî destûrê didin ku xeta dîtinê hinekî di nav her beşekî hundurî re derbas bibe, ku hesta girtîbûnê kêm dike. Ronahiya rojê ya sînordar jî derbasbûna demê bi awayekî zelal tê hîskirin. Rûberê giştî yê qatan 107.62 metre çargoşe ye.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: Located in a residential district in northern Osaka, this property is surrounded by closely packed houses and lacks any outstanding views. Due to the adjacent homes, maintaining privacy was of the utmost importance. The aim of the design was therefore to create a stimulating and beautiful space that nevertheless had no large windows and was closed to the outside world.
Dimensions & Packaging: Site Area：95.60 sqmt, Building Area：53.42 sqmt, Total Floor Area：107.62 sqmt, Max Height : 8.5m, Max Width : 8.4m, Max Depth : 9.5m
Design Challenge: A major issue was how to obtain a space that does not give a feeling of blockage while limiting the openings. With the glass floor, split-level floor, and skylights, it was possible to reduce the feeling of blockage by allowing the line of sight to slightly pass at each part of the house.
Inspiration: We believe small and enclosed space can be also comfortable. Even small gap to see outside can make small space comfortable. This kind of philosophy is maybe inspired by the traditional Japanese Architecture, especially tea ceremony room. Privacy is very important factor in this contemporary society so that this kind of philosophy should be considered again, we believe.
Project Duration: The project started in May 2016 and finished in June 2018 in Osaka, Japan.
Operation Flow: The limited openings contribute to privacy in dense residential areas. At the same time, limited sunlight makes the change of time sensitively perceived.
