About Rising 1 住宅

Rising 1 係一座喺日本鳥取縣興建嘅兩層木構住宅。外牆以單一色調嘅瓷磚統一鋪設，令建築物散發出簡約而寧靜嘅氣質。向外嘅窗戶好少，所以保持咗高度嘅私隱。房間圍繞住中央庭院以連續迴環嘅方式佈置。喺客廳、飯廳同廚房區域，可以隔住庭院望到所有房間。挑高兩層嘅空間同高窗將柔和嘅日光帶入室內。土地面積為305平方米，建築面積為145平方米。

Production Technology: Two-story wooden building
Design Challenge: In Japan, where rainfall is frequent drainage systems are typically required however to avoid compromising the architectural design, this project incorporates a carefully considered roof form that disperses rainwater. This approach ensures functional performance while preserving the visual integrity of the building.
Research: This residence employs a restrained lighting strategy in which ceiling fixtures are minimized except in areas requiring higher levels of illumination such as the kitchen with indirect and accent lighting used to establish a calm and restful atmosphere. By lowering the ceiling heights of the private rooms a clear distinction is established from the double-height living space enabling a diversity of spatial scales to be experienced within a single dwelling.
Inspiration: To ensure privacy the house is designed in a courtyard layout forming a continuous loop around the central garden.
From the living dining and kitchen area all rooms can be seen across the courtyard through the windows
allowing the presence of family members to be felt at all times.
Organized around the courtyard the spaces are gently connected creating a home that respects a sense of closeness
while allowing each person to spend time comfortably.
Project Duration: Built in Tottori, Japan in 2025
Operation Flow: The LDK limits the number of windows facing the exterior, and a tall double-height space is introduced to secure natural light. Windows are positioned at a higher level to bring soft daylight into the interior while maintaining privacy creating a bright and open living environment.
