About House in Sinjyo Bastis a d'Ostatge

Ostal a Sinjyo es una bastissa residenciala d'un sol nivèl a Tanabe, Wakayama, Japon. Lo terren se tròba jos una autorota nacionala de contornament fòrça frequentada, e doncas l'ostal a pas cap de dobertura sus las parets exterioras, çò que protegís l'intimitat de la parelha que i demòra. Un plan carrat emplena la pichona susfàcia plana del terren en pendent. Un cort de lum al costat sud fa dintrar la lutz e l'aire, e es partejat per la sala d'estar e la sala de banh. La cort es plaçada dos escalons en dessús de la sala d'estar. Una paret que s'arrèsta jos lo plafon separa l'espaci de viure de l'espaci d'aiga. L'estructura es en fusta.

Wooden construction
Design Challenge
We focused on creating an open space despite the wooden structure's structural limitations.
Research
A study of the floor plan to achieve two contradictory goals at the same time: to let light and wind into the living space while blocking sound and sight from the bypass.
Inspiration
The site is almost a slope. We planned the maximum building area in a square on the small amount of flat land, with no openings outside for privacy.
A spacious light court is placed on the south side of the house, shared by the living room and bathroom.
A single wall that does not reach the ceiling separates the LDK from the water area to enjoy the light court space without being too segmented.
We set the light court two stairs higher than the living room to feel closer to the outside.
Project Duration
Completion year:2018
Location:Tanabe,Wakayama,Japan
Operation Flow
The light court inserted into the square mass works as a device to collect light while protecting the privacy and gives the living room more space than its area.
