The Design
About House in Yamate Ko 住宅
I akohia e ratou nga koki o te whitinga o te raumati me te takurua e uru mai ana ki te waahi, ka hangaia he mahere papa e hopu ana i te whitinga o te ra puta noa i te tau. I whakakikoruatia nga pakitara hei hanga i te waahi noho ki te whitinga o te ra. Na, ki te tiaki i te waahi noho mai i te ra raumati me te ua, ka whakamahere ratou i tetahi tuanui nui motuhake. Ko te tuanui ehara i te waahi kati, engari he waahi tuwhera ka taea e te hau me te mahara te uru atu. Ko te tumanako ma te hanga o tenei whare ka rongo nga kainoho i te marama me te hau atu i nga wa o mua, a ka pai ake te oranga o ia ra.

- Unique Properties
- The angle of the sunrise at the summer and winter solstices entering the site was investigated, and a floor plan was designed to allow the sunrise to enter the building, with glass walls. Then, in order to protect the living space from the summer sun and rain, an independent large roof was planned. By creating an independent roof, we thought that the space would not be closed, but would be an open space where wind and consciousness could pass through.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- To give the appearance of a large roof supported by four pillars, H-shaped steel beams (250 x 250) were used for the beams, which were hidden inside the roof. In addition, to avoid making the columns too thick, circular steel columns of 267.4 x 12.7 (STK400) were used. In this way, the relationship between the stable roof and the independent house was stabilized.

- Production Technology
- A new RC digging garage was built at the location facing the road on the east side. The frame of the garage is also the foundation of the steel-frame structure. The residential portion is a wooden structure, completely separated from the steel structure. By completely separating the two structures, the residential portion was made independent, and was designed to take advantage of the different characteristics of each.
- Inspiration
- The site was an old development subdivision with a lowered east side. It was surrounded by houses. The height of the site is one level higher than the houses on the east side, and we wanted to create a plan that would allow the sunrise to enter the living space when standing on the site. When I visited Varanasi in India when I was a student, I saw people praying for the sunrise by scooping water from the Ganges River with both hands. I wanted to create a living space filled with such light.
- Project Duration
- The project started in Iwakuni in June 2018 and finished in December 2021
