About The Belvedere Rumah

Teks Buku: Belvedere ialah sebuah rumah bertingkat satu yang dibina di atas bukit di Okayama, Jepun. Rumah ini disusun seperti sebuah muzium, supaya koleksi seni dapat dipamerkan dan dinikmati setiap hari. Semua dinding diperbuat daripada bata, satu kemasan ringkas yang berpadu dengan alam semula jadi sekeliling. Pintu masuk membalut sekeliling rumah, dan beranda mempunyai siling berpanel kayu yang terang. Batu Towada dari Wilayah Akita menutupi kawasan pintu masuk. Sebuah koridor rata membawa ke ruang galeri yang mempamerkan karya seni dan pencahayaan hiasan. Dua taman dalaman serta cahaya atas membawa cahaya siang ke dalam pelan yang panjang.

Tags: house, green, japan, Architecture, hill, nature
Production Technology: The wooden structure has a flat roof and has a considerable amount of insulation on it.
Design Challenge: The house is a long one-story building that requires adequate lighting. As per the client's request we avoided installing windows on the street side to maintain privacy. However we solved this problem by constructing two gardens in the middle of the building and incorporating top lights to ensure proper illumination.
Research: The house is a spacious single-story building situated on a hill with no other structures around it. As a result, we had extensive conversations on how to tackle the issue of summer heat. We resolved the problem by incorporating a substantial amount of insulation material on the roof and creating an air layer between the ceiling and the roof. Furthermore, we installed only a minimal amount of windows on the west side to enjoy the scenic view.
Inspiration: The client is very interested in art and artifacts and wanted a space where he could display his collection and enjoy it daily, so we proposed a house where he could enjoy his works as if it were a museum.
The proposed site for the house is on a hill, so we designed the house to be imposing, and the colors were chosen so as not to detract from the surrounding landscape.
Project Duration: Hayashima-cho, Tsukubo-gun, Okayama, Japan
Project period 3 years Completion in 2022
Operation Flow: The owner of this house was very specific about the materials used, such as wood, natural stone, and tiles, to achieve high quality. To ensure that the exterior stayed visually appealing even after many years of residency, it was designed on a traditional Japanese roof with deep eaves, while also making sure that the windows and doors were not visible.
