About T Noie Trano Fonenana

T Noie dia trano fonenana naorina tao Toyota City, Japon. Ny trano dia nalamina ho toy ny habaka roa, 1.55 metatra ny sakany avy, apetraka eo amin'ny lafiny roa amin'ny rafitra afovoany. Ny refy kely indrindra ilaina amin'ny efitrano tsirairay dia nodinihina ho an'ny fianakaviana dimy, ary ity fandinihana ity no nahatonga ny sakany 1.55 metatra. Ny andry pin sosona miisa 50 mm ny sakany dia ampifandraisina amin'ny sakamandimby mba hamoronana rafitra endrika T. Ny lampihazo amin'ny gorodona dia vita amin'ny cypress teratany 55 mm. Ny varavarankely avo dia mampiditra hazavana voajanahary izay manova ny ao anatiny mandritra ny andro. Ny drafitra tery dia mety amin'ny toerana kely sy tetibola voafetra.

Unique Properties
This house has two 1.55m wide spaces with a 50mm thick T-shaped structure in the centre. The inhabitants can feel at the same time the intimacy they feel in the small width and the sense of sharing a space while being far away from each other. A simple composition contains an ambivalent experience.Natural light from the high windows changes the interior throughout the day.
The 55mm floor erases the boundary between architecture and furniture.
Dimensions & Packaging
Column: 50 x 700mm, Beam:50 x 450mm, Floorboards: 55mm

Production Technology
The posts are made of thin laminated rice pine 50mm wide. They are joined to the beams to form a T-shape structure.
The floorboards are made of 55mm local cypress.
Design Challenge
Changing stereotypes. This was the most important aspect of the project. For example, a width of 1.55m is considered narrow. But when you add length, the room feels different. Earthen floors, high ceilings and wooden fittings are avoided in Japan because they cause cold. In this house, however, the natural light makes it comfortable in winter. The windows are important. The combination of window placement, size and orientation can make all the difference.
Research
The minimum dimensions required for each room in the house were verified. The family is set up for five people. This does not include storage, equipment or appliances. This resulted in a dimension of 1550mm.
All the rooms were set up as two 1550mm rooms. Between the rooms there is a structure and storage of 700 mm depth.
Inspiration
It refers to the three houses we have planned in the past.
The narrow houses are small in width, but have a mysterious spaciousness by adding height.
The house has high windows that provide beautiful light and warmth throughout the day. The houses are arranged in a spiral pattern, each with its own comfortable place.
The spacing of the columns is based on the Japanese model.
Project Duration
The project began in Toyota City, Japan in May 2014 and was completed in January 2018.
Operation Flow
By applying this plan, it is possible to provide a comfortable living environment for the builder with a small site or a small budget. In other words, it is a proposal that opens up the possibility of having a house in any country or region.
