About House in Toyonaka Nyumba ya Makazi

Nyumba ya Toyonaka ni makazi binafsi katika eneo lenye msongamano wa nyumba kaskazini mwa Osaka, Japani. Eneo hili limezungukwa na nyumba zilizosongamana na halina mandhari ya mbali, hivyo faragha ilikuwa ndilo jambo kuu la kuzingatia. Kwa hiyo, nyumba hii inaepuka madirisha makubwa na inabaki imefungwa dhidi ya barabara. Sakafu ya vioo, sakafu za viwango tofauti na madirisha ya paa huruhusu mstari wa macho kupita kidogo kupitia kila sehemu ya ndani, hivyo kupunguza hisia ya kufungiwa. Mwanga wa mchana uliopunguzwa pia hufanya kupita kwa muda kuonekane wazi. Jumla ya eneo la sakafu ni mita za mraba 107.62.

Unique Properties
Located in a residential district in northern Osaka, this property is surrounded by closely packed houses and lacks any outstanding views. Due to the adjacent homes, maintaining privacy was of the utmost importance. The aim of the design was therefore to create a stimulating and beautiful space that nevertheless had no large windows and was closed to the outside world.
Dimensions & Packaging
Site Area:95.60 sqmt, Building Area:53.42 sqmt, Total Floor Area:107.62 sqmt, Max Height : 8.5m, Max Width : 8.4m, Max Depth : 9.5m
Design Challenge
A major issue was how to obtain a space that does not give a feeling of blockage while limiting the openings. With the glass floor, split-level floor, and skylights, it was possible to reduce the feeling of blockage by allowing the line of sight to slightly pass at each part of the house.
Inspiration
We believe small and enclosed space can be also comfortable. Even small gap to see outside can make small space comfortable. This kind of philosophy is maybe inspired by the traditional Japanese Architecture, especially tea ceremony room. Privacy is very important factor in this contemporary society so that this kind of philosophy should be considered again, we believe.
Project Duration
The project started in May 2016 and finished in June 2018 in Osaka, Japan.
Operation Flow
The limited openings contribute to privacy in dense residential areas. At the same time, limited sunlight makes the change of time sensitively perceived.
