About Two Sails Dom

Two Sails je prímorský dom navrhnutý pre dvojgeneračnú rodinu. Dvojpodlažná drevená stavba stojí v japonskej Okajame, so zastavanou plochou 250 metrov štvorcových na pozemku s rozlohou 800 metrov štvorcových. Tvar strechy pripomína lodnú plachtu a pomáha privádzať prirodzené svetlo a morský vánok do interiéru. Obytné priestory sú rozdelené na severnú a južnú zónu, takže si každá generácia zachováva vlastné súkromie. Zastrešená chodba spája obe zóny a umožňuje pohyb aj počas daždivých dní. Vonkajšie steny sú obložené odolným kovom, ktorý odoláva korózii spôsobenej morským vzduchom.
