About Horizon Guri Degan

Horizon waa guri hal dabaq ah oo laga dhisay qalab alwaax ah, loona qaabeeyey nolol raaxo leh oo muddo dheer ah. Saqafka barxadda, saqafka gaadhi-dhigashada iyo darbiyada saqafka geesaha leh waxay wadaagaan isku qoto muuqaal ah, taas oo abuuraysa muuqaal fudud oo cad. Naqshadeyn dhismeed oo taxaddar leh ayaa ku qarisay dhammaan tiirarka gudaha darbiyada dhexdooda, sidaas darteed gudaha gurigu wuxuu ahaanayaa mid furan oo ballaaran. Laba qol jiif, qol fadhi, qol cunto, jiko iyo qol marti ayaa isku xidhan iyada oo aan la isticmaalin dariiqyo dhexe. Daaqado waaweyn oo u jeeda dhinaca koonfureed ayaa u furan barxad, waxayna isku xidhaan meelaha gudaha iyo dibadda. Qalabka iyo midabada waxaa lagu ekeeyay ugu yaraan.

Design Challenge: To achieve a beauty that is both simple and striking, the palette of materials and colours was intentionally kept to a minimum, both inside and out. The plan is organised around a clear and efficient circulation, allowing daily life to unfold naturally and without stress. Designed from a long-term perspective, the house supports comfort and ease as its residents grow older, offering a timeless living environment that will remain graceful for decades to come.
Research: The large south facing sash windows connect seamlessly to the spacious outdoor terrace, creating a rich living space where the indoors and outdoors merge as one. The facade, which serves as the building’s face, has been designed with meticulous calculations of vertical and horizontal balance to achieve a form recognised as universally beautiful.
Inspiration: This is a project for a single storey timber framed house. Designed under the philosophy of a timeless design that will never look dated, even decades from now, it achieves a beauty that is both simple and striking, capturing the hearts of all who see it.
By eliminating all superfluous elements, this design exudes a timeless beauty that will continue to be cherished for generations to come.
Project Duration: Project Duration : From June 2018 to February 2025 / Project location : Tokyo(Japan)
Operation Flow: The plan comprises two bedrooms, a living room, dining room, and kitchen, together with a guest room, dressing room, bathroom, and toilet. The spaces connect seamlessly without relying on corridors, creating a circulation plan that is both simple and highly efficient. Furthermore, through meticulous structural design, all interior columns are concealed within the walls, allowing for a spacious and open plan interior.
