The Design

About Villa K Casa Particular

A Villa K é uma residência particular construída na cidade de Toyota, no Japão. A Villa K ergue-se ao lado de uma tradicional casa japonesa de madeira já existente, formando um contraste com a estrutura mais antiga. O edifício consiste num único espaço contínuo de 5,4 metros de largura e cerca de 100 metros de comprimento, rodeado por paredes de betão com 380 milímetros de espessura. O armazenamento térmico do betão mantém o interior fresco no verão e quente no inverno. A casa integra um ateliê e uma galeria para pintura e cerâmica, uma piscina, uma área de bilhar e uma garagem. Grandes rochas retiradas do leito do rio foram utilizadas no projeto paisagístico.
