About House in Yamate 住宅

他們研究了夏季和冬季日出進入場地的角度,並設計了一個可以全年捕捉日出的平面圖。牆壁上裝有玻璃,創造出一個充滿日出的生活空間。然後,為了保護居住空間免受夏季的日曬雨淋,他們規劃了一個獨立的大屋頂。屋頂不是一個封閉的空間,而是一個可供風和意識通過的開放空間。他們希望,隨著這座建築的建成,居民們將感受到比以往更多的光和風,讓他們的日常生活變得更加美好。

Unique Properties
The angle of the sunrise at the summer and winter solstices entering the site was investigated, and a floor plan was designed to allow the sunrise to enter the building, with glass walls. Then, in order to protect the living space from the summer sun and rain, an independent large roof was planned. By creating an independent roof, we thought that the space would not be closed, but would be an open space where wind and consciousness could pass through.
Dimensions & Packaging
To give the appearance of a large roof supported by four pillars, H-shaped steel beams (250 x 250) were used for the beams, which were hidden inside the roof. In addition, to avoid making the columns too thick, circular steel columns of 267.4 x 12.7 (STK400) were used. In this way, the relationship between the stable roof and the independent house was stabilized.

Production Technology
A new RC digging garage was built at the location facing the road on the east side. The frame of the garage is also the foundation of the steel-frame structure. The residential portion is a wooden structure, completely separated from the steel structure. By completely separating the two structures, the residential portion was made independent, and was designed to take advantage of the different characteristics of each.
Inspiration
The site was an old development subdivision with a lowered east side. It was surrounded by houses. The height of the site is one level higher than the houses on the east side, and we wanted to create a plan that would allow the sunrise to enter the living space when standing on the site. When I visited Varanasi in India when I was a student, I saw people praying for the sunrise by scooping water from the Ganges River with both hands. I wanted to create a living space filled with such light.
Project Duration
The project started in Iwakuni in June 2018 and finished in December 2021
