The Design

About Two Sails Dar

Two Sails hija dar mal-baħar iddisinjata għal familja ta' żewġ ġenerazzjonijiet. Il-bini tal-injam b'żewġ sulari jinsab f'Okayama, il-Ġappun, b'erja mibnija ta' 250 metru kwadru fuq plot ta' 800 metru kwadru. Il-forma tas-saqaf tfakkar f'qala' ta' vapur u tgħin biex tiġbed id-dawl naturali u l-irjieħ tal-baħar lejn l-intern. L-ispazji tal-għajxien huma maqsuma f'żoni tat-tramuntana u tan-nofsinhar, sabiex kull ġenerazzjoni żżomm il-privatezza tagħha. Kuritur imsaqqaf jgħaqqad iż-żewġ żoni u jippermetti l-moviment anke fi ġranet tax-xita. Il-ħitan ta' barra huma miksija b'metall durabbli li jirreżisti l-korrużjoni mill-arja tal-baħar.
