About Double Skin 房子

這座建築是一棟三層木結構建築，位於東京的密集建築區。雖然場地較小，與鄰近土地的距離只有1m左右，但對採光和隱私的要求很高。受日本傳統日式障子軟化光線的啟發，設計師創造了一種現代的濾光器，可以抵御風雨，也可以在戶外使用。立面上的半透明覆層柔化了外部的光線，模糊了路人和居民的能見度。到了晚上，點亮的立面變成一盞大燈照亮街道。

Tags: House, Minimal, Simple, Compact, Facade, Light, Double skin, Polycarbonate, Japan
Production Technology: The translucent cladding:
Polycarbonate is used as a weatherproof and semi-transparent material, and to enhance its strength, folded plates and flat sheets are attached with plastic bars.
Openings where it is necessary to block the view from the outside are covered with the translucent cladding, while emergency access and ventilation openings are exposed.
Inspiration: There is a traditional Japanese partition, the shoji, which is a way of ensuring light and privacy.
The shoji consists of a thin wooden frame covered with translucent paper, which softens the incoming light and blurs the interior.
Inspired by the shoji, the designer have created a modern light filter that is resistant to wind and rain and can also be used outside.
