The Design

About Timeless Tirahan

Sa loob, ang bahay ay binubuo ng dalawang patyo—isa ay malaki at ang isa ay maliit—na nakahanay nang magkatabi. Ang pangunahing patyo ay nasa gawing timog at may kakahuyan ng kawayan na agad na humahatak ng paningin kapag pumapasok sa entrada. Ang mas maliit at makitid na patyo sa gawing hilaga ay pinalamutian din ng mga tanim at nagsisilbing butas-ilaw, na nagbibigay ng mabanayad at kasiya-siyang liwanag sa sala sa unang palapag at entrada, pati na rin sa pangalawang sala sa itaas.

Unique Properties: Inside, the house is defined by two courtyards, one large and the other small, that are arranged in parallel. The main courtyard is on the south side and features a bamboo grove that draws the eye when one steps into the entryway. A smaller slit-shaped courtyard on the north side is also dotted with plantings and serves as a lightwell, filling the first-floor living room and entryway as well as a second living room upstairs with pleasant, diffuse light.

Inspiration: This house in a quiet residential neighborhood of central Tokyo was built for a couple who had long lived on the property but wanted to rebuild as they entered a new phase of life. The simple exterior design comprised of two massive volumes piled on top of each other takes advantage of the corner lot, with a façade of exposed concrete imprinted with cedar formwork. Outward-facing windows are limited to horizontal slits to preserve privacy and increase security.
