About Nestled in the Green 住宅
「隱身綠意」係一座位於日本廣島田尻嘅住宅。基地座落於典型嘅日本住宅區內，北面係小山丘，南面則面向瀨戶內海。呢座住宅興建喺一幢舊歐式別墅嘅原址之上，舊建築已被拆卸，但庭園就得以保留同悉心打理。設計團隊仔細研究咗房屋嘅座向同窗戶嘅尺寸，務求可以從多個角度欣賞到庭園同山巒嘅景致。打開嘅窗戶引入樹葉沙沙聲同雀鳥嘅鳴叫聲。基地面積為713.24平方米。

- Unique Properties
- Wrapped by the surrounding nature, this house nestles closely within the environment in which it stands. Located in Tajiri-cho, Fukuyama, Japan, the neighboring buildings, apartments, and houses form this typical Japanese residential area. However, with small mountains stretching northward and the Seto Inland Sea to the south, one realizes this town is also surrounded by nature. Built on the plot of an former European-style vacation home, the house was demolished by the owner but the garden was tended to ever since. Like this town, the architecture creates a space wrapped delicately in nature.

- Design Challenge
- He thought about how he understood the environment, bringing nature inside and connecting it to the outside.
Then, spent a lot of time to make the inside space merge, blending in naturally like the space in nature. - Research
- Focusing on the concept of nestling the architecture within nature, He began thinking about the house and the garden from various perspectives and alongside the landscape architect, He developed the form of the house, the size and positioning of the windows over and over until reaching a singular, encompassing space and form.
- Inspiration
- To create a feeling of familiarity with nature, the position of the house was considered so that from inside, both the garden and mountains can be viewed from many directions. This meant that depending on the season, the shifting colours of the flowers and trees, the fluttering of birds could be enjoyed.
When they open the windows, the sound of swaying leaves and chirping birds flow inside. He hoped those things would become a normality, imagining a life experiencing nature with their five senses. - Project Duration
