The Design
About Timeless Whare Noho
I roto, ko te whare e tohua ana e ngā marae ātea e rua, kotahi te nui, kotahi te iti, kua whakatakototia ki te tūrara. Ko te marae ātea matua kei te taha tonga, he uru kakaho tōna hei kukume i te kanohi ina tomo te tangata ki te tomokanga. Ko tētahi marae ātea iti, he āhua kōwhā, kei te taha raki, kua whakanoho hoki ki ngā tipu, hei poka mārama, e whakakī ana i te rūma noho me te tomokanga o te papa tuatahi, me tētahi rūma noho tuarua i runga, ki te mārama manahau me te mārama marara.

- 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.

- 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.
