About The Stacked Dar

Il-Stacked hija dar tal-familja tal-injam mibnija f'Kurashiki, Okayama, il-Ġappun. L-estern jixbah kaxxi mqiegħda fuq xulxin, u dan jagħti lill-bini forma distinta fi ħdan iż-żona residenzjali tiegħu. Minħabba li s-sit huwa qrib ħafna tal-proprjetà tal-viċin, inħoloq bitħa miftuħa marbuta mas-salott, li tifforma spazju miftuħ u mimli dawl filwaqt li tinżamm il-privatezza. Fl-intern, is-salott miftuħ u l-kamra bi stil Ġappuniż huma organizzati f'armonija. Livell għoli ta' ermetiċità, iżolament b'saħħtu u sistema tal-arja kkondizzjonata kompletament awtomatika jappoġġjaw il-kumdità matul l-istaġuni kollha.

Unique Properties: This house is characterized by its exterior which resembles boxes stacked on top of each other. Since the house is adjacent to the neighboring property a courtyard was created to integrate the living space with the living room, creating an open and airy space while ensuring privacy. The interior of the house is designed to harmonize with the open living room and the Japanesestyle room to make the Japanese feel at home.
Dimensions & Packaging: Site area 231.41 Square meter
Building area 165.69 Square meter
Structure Wood
Tags: Box, Japan, Japanesestyle, architecture, courthouse, house
Production Technology: Fully automatic air conditioning system
High airtightness and high insulation
Design Challenge: The boundary with the building next door is very close.
Privacy was needed.By creating a courtyard it was possible to provide light and privacy.
Research: We created a floor plan that allows family members to see each other at all times while providing privacy. We carefully surveyed the proposed site and studied the flow lines of　people and the way light enters the surrounding area. Since temperatures change with the seasons in Japan we pursued an ecological design by improving airtightness and insulation.
Inspiration: The goal is to utilize the functionality of the planned site to create an attractive residential landscape not only in terms of liveability but also in terms of design. The distinctive form is constructed with an emphasis on balancing the shape of the planned site with the interior space and the unique exterior gives a distinctive accent to the residential area.
Project Duration: Completed in Kurashiki Okayama in 2021
Operation Flow: We tested many times to determine how high and deep the walls could be placed in relation to the street and neighboring buildings to maintain privacy in the living room and patio.
