About Rising 1 Hus

Rising 1 är ett tvåvånings trähus byggt i Tottori, Japan. Exteriören förenas av enfärgade plattor, vilket ger byggnaden en enkel och lugn närvaro. Få fönster vetter utåt, vilket bevarar en hög grad av avskildhet. Rummen är arrangerade i en sammanhängande slinga runt en central innergård. Från vardagsrummet, matplatsen och köket kan alla rum ses över innergården. Ett rum med dubbel takhöjd och högt placerade fönster släpper in mjukt dagsljus i interiören. Tomtarean är 305 kvadratmeter och byggnadsarean är 145 kvadratmeter.

Design Challenge
In Japan, where rainfall is frequent drainage systems are typically required however to avoid compromising the architectural design, this project incorporates a carefully considered roof form that disperses rainwater. This approach ensures functional performance while preserving the visual integrity of the building.
Research
This residence employs a restrained lighting strategy in which ceiling fixtures are minimized except in areas requiring higher levels of illumination such as the kitchen with indirect and accent lighting used to establish a calm and restful atmosphere. By lowering the ceiling heights of the private rooms a clear distinction is established from the double-height living space enabling a diversity of spatial scales to be experienced within a single dwelling.
Inspiration
To ensure privacy the house is designed in a courtyard layout forming a continuous loop around the central garden.
From the living dining and kitchen area all rooms can be seen across the courtyard through the windows
allowing the presence of family members to be felt at all times.
Organized around the courtyard the spaces are gently connected creating a home that respects a sense of closeness
while allowing each person to spend time comfortably.
Project Duration
Built in Tottori, Japan in 2025
Operation Flow
The LDK limits the number of windows facing the exterior, and a tall double-height space is introduced to secure natural light. Windows are positioned at a higher level to bring soft daylight into the interior while maintaining privacy creating a bright and open living environment.
