About House in Sinjyo 住宅建築

新庄之家係位於日本和歌山縣田邊市嘅單層住宅建築。地盤位處繁忙嘅國道旁路下方,所以間屋外牆冇任何開口,藉此保障住喺入面嗰對夫婦嘅私隱。方形平面填滿咗斜坡地盤上一小片平坦嘅範圍。南面設有一個採光庭院,引入自然光同空氣,由客廳同浴室共同享用。庭院比客廳高兩級。一幅去到天花下方就停止嘅牆壁,將起居空間同用水空間分隔開。結構採用木造。

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.
