About Rising 1 Nyumba
Rising 1 ni nyumba ya mbao ya ghorofa mbili iliyojengwa Tottori, Japani. Sehemu ya nje imeunganishwa kwa vigae vya rangi moja, ambavyo vinaipa jengo hili uwepo wa urahisi na utulivu. Madirisha machache yanaelekea nje, hivyo kiwango cha juu cha faragha kinadumishwa. Vyumba vimepangwa katika mzunguko endelevu kuzunguka ua wa kati. Kutoka eneo la sebule, chumba cha kulia na jikoni, vyumba vyote vinaweza kuonekana kupitia ua. Nafasi ya urefu wa ghorofa mbili na madirisha ya juu huleta mwanga laini wa mchana ndani ya nyumba. Eneo la ardhi ni mita za mraba 305 na eneo la jengo ni mita za mraba 145.

- Production Technology
- Two-story wooden building
- 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.
