About Majestic Trano Fonenana

Ity tranobe ity dia miorina amin'ny toerana mitongilana, ny rihana faharoa dia faritra ankavanana, ahitana ny fidirana, efitrano fiarahanolona, efitrano fisakafoanana, ary lakozia, fa ny rihana voalohany kosa dia faritra manokana, ahitana ny efitrano fandrian'ny mpivady sy ny efitrano ho an'ny ankizy. Araka ny voalaza etsy ambony, ny fidirana dia eo amin'ny rihana faharoa, ary satria ny tranobe dia miorina amin'ny toerana mitongilana, ny fasady dia mitovy endrika amin'ny trano rihana tokana. Ny ivelany dia vita amin'ny vato slate mainty voajanahary sy taila mitovy amin'ny marbra amin'ny rindrina ivelany sy fefy, ary voahatsara amin'ny hazo vita harato sy loko fotsy mba hamoronana atmosfera mendri-boninahitra nefa malefaka tsara.

Design Challenge: The design process was extremely difficult because of the sloping site.It would not have been easy to solve all the problems such as the impact on the neighboring site, the ground improvement work plan, and the sunlight plan, and to create a building with a beautiful, functional, and universal appearance.
Research: This is a two-family house for an elderly mother and her two young children.
In order for people of different generations to be able to coexist, the zoning was devised in such a way that they share a living room while ensuring privacy for each other.
The mother's private room, living room, kitchen, and spacious tray are located on the second floor, where the entrance is located, in order to avoid stairs and other steps for the elderly mother as much as possible.
Inspiration: The building sits on a sloping site, with the entrance on the second floor, so from the façade it appears to be a one-story building. The exterior walls and fences are covered with natural slate stone and marble tiles, accented with wooden latticework and white paint, creating a design that is both stately and moderately soft.
The interior is a complete change from the exterior, with white and wood grain as the base colors, accented with glaze, creating a bright and fresh atmosphere.
Project Duration: Project Duration : From August 2022 to January 2024
Project location : Nara(Japan)
Operation Flow: The entrance is on the second floor and serves as the main floor.The living room, dining room, and kitchen are seamlessly connected.The living room floor is two steps lower than the dining room and kitchen, and this difference in level sometimes functions as a bench.There is also a private room for the elderly mother, creating a space where all family members of different generations can relax.
