About Two Sails Öý

Iki Ýelken — iki nesilli maşgala üçin niýetlenip taslanan deňiz kenaryndaky öýdür. Iki gatly agaç bina Ýaponiýanyň Okaýama şäherinde ýerleşýär, 800 inedördül metrlik meýdançada gurluşyk meýdany 250 inedördül metre barabardyr. Üçegiň görnüşi gäminiň ýelkenini ýada salýar we tebigy yşygyň hem-de deňiz şemalynyň içki giňişlige aralaşmagyna ýardam edýär. Ýaşaýyş giňişlikleri demirgazyk we günorta zolaklara bölünendir, şeýlelikde her nesil öz şahsy durmuşynyň eldegrilmesizligini saklaýar. Üçekli geçelge iki zolagy birleşdirýär we hatda ýagyşly günlerde-de hereket etmäge mümkinçilik berýär. Daşky diwarlar deňiz howasynyň poslamak täsirine durnukly, berk metal bilen örtülendir.
