Creating a home that suits your daily life
This is a private home located in a residential area. The residents are a young couple who moved from overseas a few years ago. For the couple, who basically work remotely from home, comfort and versatility in how they spend their time were top priorities when building the house. Because it is built on a corner lot in a residential area, the windows were placed with consideration for the gazes of people passing by on the street. While the exterior is a massive form like a single sculpture, the interior space was planned to give a sense of openness above and below and a sense of visibility to the outside. The 90m2 house is not particularly large for a residence, but there are various places to stay, and you can spend time while maintaining a good sense of distance from each other. The living room has a large atrium that takes in large openings and a high wall at the foot of the floor. The dining room has a vaulted ceiling, making it a relaxing space with a low height. The kitchen, which is usually open, can be partitioned off with a large wall door so that it does not interfere with desk work while cooking. The workspace is well-lit and spacious, and the bathroom beyond it is bright with a skylight so that the door can be left open at any time. The bedroom is a separate room that floats in the atrium, allowing the occupants to consciously separate themselves from the rest of the one-room house. In addition, an aqualayer system is used under the floor for air conditioning, and a comfortable indoor environment is basically maintained with just one air conditioner. This achieves both the comfort of a large air volume and a comfortable thermal environment.
