The Design

About Engawa 住宅屋

緣側——重新定義傳統日本建築中嘅家庭空間;緣側係傳統日本建築嘅獨特元素，喺室內同室外空間之間充當橋樑，模糊咗界線之餘，又劃分咗空間功能。呢個建築元素啟發咗一種嶄新嘅家庭互動方式，尤其係喺中間房間嘅設計上，將客廳、飯廳同書房無縫連接，互不干擾。設計汲取咗緣側嘅結構精髓，為家庭提供充裕嘅收納空間。

Unique Properties: An engawa is a type of flooring in traditional Japanese architecture
that connects the interior with the exterior, and blurs the boundary yet defines spatial functions.
Dimensions & Packaging: 106 square meter

Production Technology: The structural elements inspired by engawa provides sufficient family storage space with surface planes for diverse usage.
For instance, mothers may fold clothes or do chores on the platform near the laundry room.
The proper height and space of the engawa also serve as an alternative for meeting guests
or an exciting area for children to play games.
Design Challenge: We make space for family storage needs within the limits of interconnected, standalone, enriched, and fun rooms.
Research: By incorporating functionality with the design concept,
we created middle rooms and platforms
to offer a new way for family interactions.
Inspiration: An engawa is a type of flooring in traditional Japanese architecture
