About Rising 1 Haus

Rising 1 ass en zweestäckegt Holzhaus, dat zu Tottori a Japan gebaut gouf. D'Baussefassad gëtt duerch eefaarweg Fliesen vereenheetlecht, déi dem Gebai eng einfach a roueg Présenz ginn. Nëmme wéineg Fënstere weisen no baussen, sou datt en héije Grad u Privatsphär gewahrt bleift. D'Raumer sinn an enger kontinuéierlecher Schleef ronderëm en zentralen Haff arrangéiert. Vum Wunn-, Iess- a Kichebereech aus kann ee sämtlech Raimlechkeeten iwwer den Haff gesinn. Eng Raumhéicht iwwer zwee Stäck an héich Fënstere bréngen dout Dagesliicht an den Interieur. D'Grondstécksfläch ass 305 Quadratmeter an d'Gebaisfläch ass 145 Quadratmeter.

Unique Properties: This residence is unified with a single-color tile exterior, creating a simple and calm presence.

With very few windows, the design ensures a high level of privacy, while the courtyard provides a rich and reassuring space.
Simple in form, the house achieves a strong presence through its materials and proportions.
Dimensions & Packaging: Land area 305 square meters
Building area 145 square meters

Production Technology: Two-story wooden building
Design Challenge: In Japan, where rainfall is frequent drainage systems are typically required however to avoid compromising the architectural design, this project incorporates a carefully considered roof form that disperses rainwater. This approach ensures functional performance while preserving the visual integrity of the building.
Research: This residence employs a restrained lighting strategy in which ceiling fixtures are minimized except in areas requiring higher levels of illumination such as the kitchen with indirect and accent lighting used to establish a calm and restful atmosphere. By lowering the ceiling heights of the private rooms a clear distinction is established from the double-height living space enabling a diversity of spatial scales to be experienced within a single dwelling.
Inspiration: To ensure privacy the house is designed in a courtyard layout forming a continuous loop around the central garden.
From the living dining and kitchen area all rooms can be seen across the courtyard through the windows
allowing the presence of family members to be felt at all times.
Organized around the courtyard the spaces are gently connected creating a home that respects a sense of closeness
while allowing each person to spend time comfortably.
Project Duration: Built in Tottori, Japan in 2025
Operation Flow: The LDK limits the number of windows facing the exterior, and a tall double-height space is introduced to secure natural light. Windows are positioned at a higher level to bring soft daylight into the interior while maintaining privacy creating a bright and open living environment.
