About House in Sinjyo 住宅建筑

新庄之家是位于日本和歌山县田边市的一栋单层住宅建筑。基地位于一条繁忙的国道旁路下方,因此住宅的外墙不设开口,从而保护了居住于此的夫妇的隐私。方形平面填满了坡地上狭小的平坦区域。南侧的采光庭院引入光线与空气,由起居室与浴室共享。庭院较起居室抬高两级台阶。一道未及天花板的隔墙将起居区域与用水区域分隔开来。建筑采用木结构。

Wooden construction
Design Challenge
We focused on creating an open space despite the wooden structure's structural limitations.
Research
A study of the floor plan to achieve two contradictory goals at the same time: to let light and wind into the living space while blocking sound and sight from the bypass.
Inspiration
The site is almost a slope. We planned the maximum building area in a square on the small amount of flat land, with no openings outside for privacy.
A spacious light court is placed on the south side of the house, shared by the living room and bathroom.
A single wall that does not reach the ceiling separates the LDK from the water area to enjoy the light court space without being too segmented.
We set the light court two stairs higher than the living room to feel closer to the outside.
Project Duration
Completion year:2018
Location:Tanabe,Wakayama,Japan
Operation Flow
The light court inserted into the square mass works as a device to collect light while protecting the privacy and gives the living room more space than its area.
