About House in Niigata Edifício Residencial

A Casa em Niigata é uma residência privada projetada para uma família de quatro pessoas, situada numa zona residencial antiga e densamente edificada. As paredes exteriores são revestidas a material de madeira levemente tingido de cinzento, de modo que o edifício se harmoniza com as ruas envolventes. A planta organiza-se em torno de dois jardins: um pátio interior delimitado por um muro de betão, implantado no piso térreo, e um terraço na cobertura, emoldurado por um gradeado de madeira, situado no segundo piso. Todas as divisões estão voltadas para estes dois jardins, dispensando qualquer tipo de resguardo visual, como cortinas. Foi empregue a construção tradicional em madeira.

Tags: Houses, Houses with courtyards, Gardens, Cityscapes
Production Technology: Traditional wooden construction method
Design Challenge: Many of the old residential areas are densely populated.
The impact of architecture on the cityscape is great.
I created a good cityscape and thought of a house where you can feel nature.
Research: We built a courtyard and a roof terrace, and thought about balancing the contradictions of openness and privacy.
We have verified how to take in light and wind many times.
Therefore, we have realized openness and a private space.
Inspiration: Many houses are lined up in old residential areas in urban areas.
The surrounding houses are all built at the same time.
The exterior is made of similar industrial material.
In an old residential area, I wanted to change the uniform cityscape while cooperating with the cityscape.
Even in a residential area in an urban area, I thought of a house that feels nature.
Project Duration: Construction started in 2017 in Niigata, Japan. Completed in 2018.
Operation Flow: On the first floor, we created a courtyard surrounded by a concrete wall.
On the second floor, we made a roof terrace and surrounded it with a wooden lattice and an outer wall.
All the rooms have been placed in these two gardens.
The garden creates a private space.
There is no need for blindfolds such as curtains.
The connection with the outside will be strengthened positively.
I thought that feeling nature in everyday life was an open house.
