The Design

About Double Skin Ang Bahay

Ang gusaling ito ay isang tatlong palapag na kahoy na istraktura sa isang makapal na gusali na lugar ng Tokyo. Kahit na ang site ay maliit at ang distansya mula sa kalapit na lupain ay halos 1m lamang, kailangan ang liwanag at privacy. May inspirasyon ng tradisyonal na Japanese shoji na nagpapalambot sa liwanag, ang taga-disenyo ay gumawa ng modernong light filter na lumalaban sa hangin at ulan at maaari ding gamitin sa labas. Ang translucent cladding sa facade ay nagpapalambot sa liwanag mula sa labas at lumalabo ang visibility ng mga dumadaan at mga naninirahan. Sa gabi, ang maliwanag na harapan ay nagiging isang malaking ilaw na nagbibigay liwanag sa mga lansangan.

Tags: House, Minimal, Simple, Compact, Facade, Light, Double skin, Polycarbonate, Japan
Production Technology: The translucent cladding:
Polycarbonate is used as a weatherproof and semi-transparent material, and to enhance its strength, folded plates and flat sheets are attached with plastic bars.
Openings where it is necessary to block the view from the outside are covered with the translucent cladding, while emergency access and ventilation openings are exposed.
Inspiration: There is a traditional Japanese partition, the shoji, which is a way of ensuring light and privacy.
The shoji consists of a thin wooden frame covered with translucent paper, which softens the incoming light and blurs the interior.
Inspired by the shoji, the designer have created a modern light filter that is resistant to wind and rain and can also be used outside.
