About The Stacked Guri

Stacked waa guri qoys oo alwaax laga dhisay oo lagu dhammeeyay Kurashiki, Okayama, Japan. Dibedda wuxuu u eg yahay sanduuqyo isku dul saaran, taasoo dhismaha siisa qaab gaar ah oo ka duwan gudaha aagga guryaha. Sababtoo ah goobtu aad bay ugu dhow tahay dhulka deriska ah, waxaa la abuuray bannaan dhexe (courtyard) oo lagu daray qolka fadhiga, kaasoo sameeya meel furan oo iftiimaysa halka sirta gaarka ah la sii ilaalinayo. Gudaha, qolka fadhiga ee furan iyo qolka qaabka Japanese-ka ah waxaa loo habeeyay si iswaafaqsan. Fudaydinta hawada ee sare, dahaarka kulaylka ee xoogan, iyo nidaamka hawo-qaboojinta oo si buuxda u otomaatig ah ayaa taageera raaxada xilliyada sanadka oo dhan.

Unique Properties: This house is characterized by its exterior which resembles boxes stacked on top of each other. Since the house is adjacent to the neighboring property a courtyard was created to integrate the living space with the living room, creating an open and airy space while ensuring privacy. The interior of the house is designed to harmonize with the open living room and the Japanesestyle room to make the Japanese feel at home.

Building area 165.69 Square meter

Tags: Box, Japan, Japanesestyle, architecture, courthouse, house
Production Technology: Fully automatic air conditioning system
High airtightness and high insulation
Design Challenge: The boundary with the building next door is very close.
Privacy was needed.By creating a courtyard it was possible to provide light and privacy.
Research: We created a floor plan that allows family members to see each other at all times while providing privacy. We carefully surveyed the proposed site and studied the flow lines of　people and the way light enters the surrounding area. Since temperatures change with the seasons in Japan we pursued an ecological design by improving airtightness and insulation.
Inspiration: The goal is to utilize the functionality of the planned site to create an attractive residential landscape not only in terms of liveability but also in terms of design. The distinctive form is constructed with an emphasis on balancing the shape of the planned site with the interior space and the unique exterior gives a distinctive accent to the residential area.
Project Duration: Completed in Kurashiki Okayama in 2021
Operation Flow: We tested many times to determine how high and deep the walls could be placed in relation to the street and neighboring buildings to maintain privacy in the living room and patio.
