About Hillside Residence 私人住宅

山坡住宅是一座建于日本东京町田市陡坡地块上的私人住宅。住宅朝南,面向一片宽敞的庭园开放。钢筋混凝土结构的地下停车区同时兼作挡土结构,消化了坡地的高差。停车区之上矗立着一栋两层的木构住宅。停车入口及其前方的场地比道路高出2.5米。木材与灰泥均采用传统工艺施作。庭园则再现了基地原有的自然风貌。

Unique Properties
As a result, it was an elegant residential house facing the south with an open garden. This site has a slope with a front road in the south. It is required special construction that is different from the flat ground because it was a site with a steep slope.

And he designed a wooden house on the underground parking lot.

Production Technology
The designer used materials that Japanese people have valued since ancient times, such as wood, stucco. Also, by the technique of craftsmen who have been supporting traditional Japanese beauty and relaxation in the space.
Design Challenge
This project was planned on a sloping ground in the residential area. The most important matter was how to design and absorb the height difference. The premise had a depth of 40 m and had a height of 10 m. To solve the problem, I carefully thought about approach, external structure plan, retaining as ground underground parking lot of RC structure, and wooden house above the parking. I challenged to adjust its appearance and balance from the road below.
Research
Harmonize with architecture and climate. Learn by traditional architecture.
Inspiration
The client played twirling around this hill long ago and grew up in this premises where looking over one of Japanese famous mountains called Tanzawasan. When the designer heard the story, he thought about the housing design that the client can feel nostalgic on the site. That is a wooden house with a large garden and can be settled down to live. The garden referred to the original landscape where the client grew up. And the designer used traditional construction finishing material it reminds the client the home where he lived in a long time ago.
Project Duration
The project started in January 2011 in Machida city, Tokyo, Japan and finished in July 2012.
Operation Flow
It is a resident that makes people feel relaxed and feel comfortable.
