About House in Toyonaka 住宅
豐中住宅係位於日本大阪北部一個密集住宅區嘅私人住宅。地盤四周被緊密排列嘅房屋包圍，冇遠景，所以私隱係主要考量。因此，呢間屋避免使用大窗，並保持對街道封閉。玻璃地板、錯層樓面同天窗令視線可以稍微穿透室內每一部分，減低封閉感。有限嘅日光亦令時間嘅流逝清晰可感。總樓面面積為107.62平方米。

- Unique Properties
- Located in a residential district in northern Osaka, this property is surrounded by closely packed houses and lacks any outstanding views. Due to the adjacent homes, maintaining privacy was of the utmost importance. The aim of the design was therefore to create a stimulating and beautiful space that nevertheless had no large windows and was closed to the outside world.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Site Area：95.60 sqmt, Building Area：53.42 sqmt, Total Floor Area：107.62 sqmt, Max Height : 8.5m, Max Width : 8.4m, Max Depth : 9.5m
- Design Challenge
- A major issue was how to obtain a space that does not give a feeling of blockage while limiting the openings. With the glass floor, split-level floor, and skylights, it was possible to reduce the feeling of blockage by allowing the line of sight to slightly pass at each part of the house.
- Inspiration
- We believe small and enclosed space can be also comfortable. Even small gap to see outside can make small space comfortable. This kind of philosophy is maybe inspired by the traditional Japanese Architecture, especially tea ceremony room. Privacy is very important factor in this contemporary society so that this kind of philosophy should be considered again, we believe.
- Project Duration
- The project started in May 2016 and finished in June 2018 in Osaka, Japan.
- Operation Flow
- The limited openings contribute to privacy in dense residential areas. At the same time, limited sunlight makes the change of time sensitively perceived.
