About House in Niigata Whare Noho

He whare tūmataiti a Whare i Niigata i hoahoatia mō tētahi whānau tokowhā i roto i tētahi rohe noho tawhito, kī tonu i ngā whare. He rākau te hanga o ngā pakitara o waho, he māmā te tae kerei, nā reira ka noho tahi te whare me ngā huarahi e karapoti ana i a ia. Ko te mahere kua whakaritea huri noa i ētahi kāri e rua. Kei te papa o raro tētahi marae kua karapotia e tētahi pakitara raima, ā, kei te papa tuarua tētahi papa tuanui kua whakaahuatia e tētahi ārai rākau whati-tapawhā. Ko ngā rūma katoa e anga ana ki ēnei kāri e rua, nā reira kāore he take mō ngā mea ārai matakitaki penei i ngā ārai kāhu. I whakamahia te hanga rākau tuku iho.

Design Challenge
Many of the old residential areas are densely populated.
The impact of architecture on the cityscape is great.
I created a good cityscape and thought of a house where you can feel nature.
Research
We built a courtyard and a roof terrace, and thought about balancing the contradictions of openness and privacy.
We have verified how to take in light and wind many times.
Therefore, we have realized openness and a private space.
Inspiration
Many houses are lined up in old residential areas in urban areas.
The surrounding houses are all built at the same time.
The exterior is made of similar industrial material.
In an old residential area, I wanted to change the uniform cityscape while cooperating with the cityscape.
Even in a residential area in an urban area, I thought of a house that feels nature.
Project Duration
Construction started in 2017 in Niigata, Japan. Completed in 2018.
Operation Flow
On the first floor, we created a courtyard surrounded by a concrete wall.
On the second floor, we made a roof terrace and surrounded it with a wooden lattice and an outer wall.
All the rooms have been placed in these two gardens.
The garden creates a private space.
There is no need for blindfolds such as curtains.
The connection with the outside will be strengthened positively.
I thought that feeling nature in everyday life was an open house.
