五位堂の家 House in Goido

土地探しからの相談で、計画が進みました。
まずは、２つの敷地から１つを選んでいきました。
建物が密集しているところに敷地はあります。
プライバシーを守りながら、リラックスして過ごせたらいいなということで、要望がありました。
また、スキップフロアが希望ということでした。
各部屋の間に、室内でありながらも、中庭的な要素を持つスペースを設置し、室内を外のように感じながら過ごせる雰囲気をつくりだしました。各エリアはブリッジや階段で繋がっています。

The lot is located at the end of blind alley. Aside from the small slice of intersecting road at one end of the alley, it is entirely surrounded by houses and is shady almost the entire day. Incorporating the exterior environment into the architecture was therefore very challenging. By designing a space where residents would feel like they were outside even when they were inside their home, we hoped to explore new architectural possibilities for this type of environment. The clients, meanwhile, wanted a relaxing space to spend time in.

In order to create an outdoors atmosphere, we started with a shell that filled the entire lot, then arranged small rooms on split levels inside this shell and used the leftover space as a void with a skylight at the top. The bridges and stairs that connect the small rooms add variety to the scenery visible from inside these rooms, which also are visible to one another across the void. While this void surrounded by rooms is fully interior, it feels something like an alley, with the skylight contributing to its outdoors atmosphere. Relationships between inside and outside, mass and void constantly flip back and forth, making this a house where residents are able to enjoy a shifting kaleidoscope of vistas.
