About Double Skin Nyumba
Jengo hili ni jengo la mbao la orofa tatu katika eneo lililojengwa kwa wingi mjini Tokyo. Ingawa tovuti ni ndogo na umbali kutoka ardhi ya jirani ni takriban 1m, mwanga na faragha vilihitajika. Kwa kuchochewa na shoji ya kitamaduni ya Kijapani ambayo hulainisha mwanga, mbunifu ameunda kichujio cha kisasa cha mwanga ambacho kinastahimili upepo na mvua na kinaweza pia kutumika nje. Kifuniko chenye kung'aa kwenye uso wa mbele hupunguza mwangaza kutoka nje na kufifisha mwonekano wa wapita njia na wakaaji. Usiku, facade iliyoangaziwa inakuwa taa kubwa ya kuangazia barabara.
