About Cover 住宅

呢間屋位於東京郊區一個人口密度較高嘅住宅區,由一位喺大型地產公司任職嘅設計師委托設計。一樓入口望出去,樓梯同浴室之間嘅視線一直延伸到物業後方。得益於類似中庭嘅布局設計,確保咗私密性同寧靜嘅氛圍,令人難以相信牆嘅另一邊just係街道。二樓則結合閣樓同大型挑空空間,善用高樓底,形成一個開闊嘅起居空間。

Unique Properties: The first-floor entrance offers a view between the staircase and the bathroom clear to the back of the property. Thanks to a courtyard-like layout that ensures privacy and a peaceful mood, it’s hard to believe the street is just on the other side of the wall. The second floor is integrated with a loft and large void, forming a living area that takes advantage of the high ceilings.

Principal Use: Private House
Structure: Timber
Site Area: 149.01m2
Total Floor Area : 101.56 m2 (50.78m2/1F, 50.78m2/2F)

Inspiration: This home in a high-density residential district in Tokyo’s suburbs was commissioned by a designer at a large real estate company. The roof and exterior walls are constructed from metallic grey Galvalume which both forms a structural skin and protects the privacy of the residents by shielding the first floor from visibility from the street. A large opening in the roof brings in abundant natural light and makes the compact space feel more expansive.
