The Design

About Hillside Residence Casa Particular

A Hillside Residence é uma casa particular construída num terreno de forte inclinação na cidade de Machida, em Tóquio, Japão. A casa está orientada a sul e abre-se para um amplo jardim. Uma área de estacionamento subterrânea em concreto armado funciona também como estrutura de contenção e absorve a diferença de cota do declive. Sobre o estacionamento ergue-se uma casa de madeira de dois pavimentos. A entrada do estacionamento e o pátio à sua frente situam-se 2,5 metros acima do nível da rua. A madeira e o estuque são aplicados segundo métodos artesanais tradicionais. O jardim evoca a paisagem original do local.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Unique Properties: As a result, it was an elegant residential house facing the south with an open garden. This site has a slope with a front road in the south. It is required special construction that is different from the flat ground because it was a site with a steep slope. First of all, the designer made an underground parking lot which also serves retaining. The parking entrance and square was made 2.5 m higher than the front road. And he designed a wooden house on the underground parking lot.
Dimensions & Packaging: Structure scale Wooden 2 stories and Reinforced Concrete basement floor. Width 21 m, Depth 12 m. Site area 672.48 square meter.
Tags: Japanese residence, Japanese architecture, traditional, Furihata Architectural Design Office,
Production Technology: The designer used materials that Japanese people have valued since ancient times, such as wood, stucco. Also, by the technique of craftsmen who have been supporting traditional Japanese beauty and relaxation in the space.
Design Challenge: This project was planned on a sloping ground in the residential area. The most important matter was how to design and absorb the height difference. The premise had a depth of 40 m and had a height of 10 m. To solve the problem, I carefully thought about approach, external structure plan, retaining as ground underground parking lot of RC structure, and wooden house above the parking. I challenged to adjust its appearance and balance from the road below.
Research: Harmonize with architecture and climate. Learn by traditional architecture.
Inspiration: The client played twirling around this hill long ago and grew up in this premises where looking over one of Japanese famous mountains called Tanzawasan. When the designer heard the story, he thought about the housing design that the client can feel nostalgic on the site. That is a wooden house with a large garden and can be settled down to live. The garden referred to the original landscape where the client grew up. And the designer used traditional construction finishing material it reminds the client the home where he lived in a long time ago.
Project Duration: The project started in January 2011 in Machida city, Tokyo, Japan and finished in July 2012.
Operation Flow: It is a resident that makes people feel relaxed and feel comfortable.
