Unique Properties: The four children's rooms were placed facing each other, with steps and windows between them.
When the children open the windows, the floor becomes a large desk, and they study face-to-face.
The four children's rooms become an integrated space, and the desk is made of glass to connect to the first floor.
It became a space where families can be connected with various senses of distance.
Dimensions & Packaging: Site area 300.38m2
Building area: 69.56m2
Total floor area 125.65m2
1st floor: 63.35m2 2nd floor: 62.30m2
Eave height 7,176mm
Highest height 7,450mm
Production Technology: When I was a child, I was given a study desk.
But I never used it.
It was painful for me to study facing the wall.
A study desk limits where you can put things, and you can't spread out a sheet of paper. I was restricted in what I could write.
The study desk became a stumbling block and eliminated many possibilities.
In this house, the floor becomes the desk. The space is a big table.
You can sit at the desk or run around. You can even draw big pictures.
This expands the possibilities for the child.
Design Challenge: Since most of the people living in the area knew each other, privacy had to be considered.
Research: Type of Research: House Design
Research Objective: To enrich people's lives
Methodology: Leaving margins that allow for change.
Tools: CAD, CG, models
Participants: None
Result: Residents' lives are richer.
Impact: spillover of the importance of creating space without function
Inspiration: A house for a couple and their four children.
The client wanted to give each child a private room.
The four children are close in age and play together all the time.
We were concerned that having a private room would divide the family, so we decided to create a space where the children can feel connected even when they are in their own rooms.
Project Duration: June 2021 to October 2021
Operation Flow: Four children's rooms were placed across from each other, with steps and windows between them.
When the children open the windows, the floor becomes a large desk.
The four children's rooms become an integrated space.
The desks are connected to the first floor by glass.
The space became a place where the family is connected at various distances.
