Article source: Kawazoe Architects The site has a small mountain on the north side and the south is down. We examined the sequence so that we can enjoy the view at the 2nd floor living room. We go through the slightly tight space at the entrance, the staircase hall and reach the second floor where the view spreads. The appearance is the shape of a simple gable. The staircase hall was in the center of the building, and arranged each room around it. The finish of the staircase hall changes the material from the others and emphasizes the difference in the space. Also, there are small windows from each room, creating interior and exterior relationships inside the room while inside. The site lies in the mountain slopes of the tree and you can see the view in the north. The building is a simple form of gable. Only the entrance to the entrance can be seen on the road side, and the impression is minimal overall.
We enter the staircase hall from the entrance. The staircase hall changes the image of finishing and space with other spaces. Floor, wall and ceiling finish materials are flexible boards. As you climb the stairs there is a landing. There are stairs to go up further and stairs to go down. The rising stairs goes to the living room, and the stairs go down to the bedroom. Sequence to different space of use is created by moving stairs. There are several small windows in the staircase hall. The staircase hall is located in the center of the house, and each room is arranged around it. Small windows were established in the room. There are inside and outside in the house, which makes the whole feel change. Also, since we can see the staircase hall from each small window, we can catch a glimpse of the movement of the family. Living-dining··· There is a large L-shaped window where you can enjoy the diagonal forest on the north side. The dining pendant lighting is suspended from the bracket of the steel taken out from the wall, not from the ceiling. The kitchen is a space connected to the living room. However, the plane is L type and there is a sense of distance a little from the living room. It is an image like a corner in the space of a one room. When you stand in the kitchen, there is a small window in the horizon in front. You can see the state of the staircase hall and you can grasp the atmosphere inside the house. Work room … Like the living and dining, you can do sewing work etc while watching the slope of the northern forest. To make the image complete in this space, the ceiling is shaped like a gable. It is a space of atmosphere that you can concentrate on work and be able to park. Contact Kawazoe Architects
