The Design

About With Four Children Domus

Domum pro duobus et quatuor liberis. Ludio ludius est in centro domus, et quattuor pueri cubicula inter se sita sunt. Gradus et fenestrae sunt inter eas. Cum pueri fenestram aperiunt, area fit magnum scrinium ubi facie ad faciem student. Quattuor pueri ' cubicula spatium integrale fiunt et primae areae coniunguntur quia vitreae tabulae fiunt. Spatium est quod familiam variis spatiis nectit.

Unique Properties: The four children's rooms were placed facing each other, with steps and windows between them.
When the children open the windows, the floor becomes a large desk, and they study face-to-face.
The four children's rooms become an integrated space, and the desk is made of glass to connect to the first floor.
It became a space where families can be connected with various senses of distance.
Dimensions & Packaging: Site area 300.38m2
Building area: 69.56m2
Total floor area 125.65m2
1st floor: 63.35m2 2nd floor: 62.30m2
Eave height 7,176mm
Highest height 7,450mm
Production Technology: When I was a child, I was given a study desk.
But I never used it.
It was painful for me to study facing the wall.
A study desk limits where you can put things, and you can't spread out a sheet of paper. I was restricted in what I could write.
The study desk became a stumbling block and eliminated many possibilities.
In this house, the floor becomes the desk. The space is a big table.
You can sit at the desk or run around. You can even draw big pictures.
This expands the possibilities for the child.
Design Challenge: Since most of the people living in the area knew each other, privacy had to be considered.
Research: Type of Research: House Design
Research Objective: To enrich people's lives
Methodology: Leaving margins that allow for change.
Tools: CAD, CG, models
Participants: None
Result: Residents' lives are richer.
Impact: spillover of the importance of creating space without function
Inspiration: A house for a couple and their four children.
The client wanted to give each child a private room.
The four children are close in age and play together all the time.
We were concerned that having a private room would divide the family, so we decided to create a space where the children can feel connected even when they are in their own rooms.
Project Duration: June 2021 to October 2021
Operation Flow: Four children's rooms were placed across from each other, with steps and windows between them.
When the children open the windows, the floor becomes a large desk.
The four children's rooms become an integrated space.
The desks are connected to the first floor by glass.
The space became a place where the family is connected at various distances.
