About Timeless Trano fonenana

Ao anatiny, ny trano dia voafaritra amin'ny tokotany roa, ny iray lehibe ary ny iray kely, izay voalamina mifanandrify. Ny tokotany lehibe dia mipetraka eo amin'ny lafiny atsimo ary misy ala volo izay misarika ny maso rehefa miditra eo amin'ny varavarana fidirana. Ny tokotany kely miendrika tsivalavalana eo amin'ny lafiny avaratra dia misy zava-maniry koa ary miasa ho lavaka fahazavana, mameno ny efitrano fiainana ao amin'ny rihana voalohany sy ny fidirana ary koa ny efitrano fiainana faharoa any ambony amin'ny hazavana mahafinaritra sy miparitaka.

Unique Properties
Inside, the house is defined by two courtyards, one large and the other small, that are arranged in parallel. The main courtyard is on the south side and features a bamboo grove that draws the eye when one steps into the entryway. A smaller slit-shaped courtyard on the north side is also dotted with plantings and serves as a lightwell, filling the first-floor living room and entryway as well as a second living room upstairs with pleasant, diffuse light.

Inspiration
This house in a quiet residential neighborhood of central Tokyo was built for a couple who had long lived on the property but wanted to rebuild as they entered a new phase of life. The simple exterior design comprised of two massive volumes piled on top of each other takes advantage of the corner lot, with a façade of exposed concrete imprinted with cedar formwork. Outward-facing windows are limited to horizontal slits to preserve privacy and increase security.
