With that one word from the client, the story for the construction to be built here was decided, but in order to realize this, it is necessary to have a “rational way of building on land”.
This is a private residence built on a slope 4 m down from the road toward the pond.
In the case of such sloping land, it can be said that the general solution is to create a semi-underground RC frame that withstands soil pressure from above and takes into account the fit on the waterproof.
Housing for married couples and children located in Aichi, Japan. The surrounding area is different from the well-maintained cityscape, and there is a narrow and diagonal road that remains from the old days, and you can see irregular sites. The site was irregular due to the proximity of narrow roads running diagonally. There are many houses around the site with fences and hedges. The issue was how to relate this to the spatial composition.
This is a dental clinic. This architecture is in a rural area where there was no dental clinic.
This clinic is a wooden flat. It is one of the local medical centers for people living in this area, especially for the elderly and children. The floor is 80cm above the ground because it is potentially flooded, but it is a one-storied house with large windows and a lot of wood on the outer wall to create an atmosphere that is easy for locals to enter. Wood and plaster are used as interior materials to soften the indoor atmosphere. There is a skylight in the examination room and you can see the sun and the sky. Even people who are not good at treating teeth can relax.
It is a seaside villa repair plan. The premises was an ordinance that made it impossible to build and proceeded with a plan not requiring confirmation. Sand is dancing with strong sea breeze, and it is a tough condition that sand is blown indoors from the window.
The garage hut facing the sea became a barrier to the garden and the repair to fill the gap was repeated, but it obstructed the view to the sea. Re-acquisition of the view to the sea, renovation to the place where the former earth which was the living room can be used integrally with the garden was desired.
The site is a long shape facing the 4-lane highway on the north side and 4 meters wide on the south side, giving void to the townscape along these roads. The plan described here is building a dental clinic specializing in aesthetic dentistry and pediatric dentistry here.
Considering the empiric position of the patient, we feel that a dental clinic should be abele to contain various parts according to the different activities. For example, reception → waiting → tooth brushing corner → treatment room → X-ray → treatment room → waiting → payment. In order to translate the act of movement into the structure of architecture itself, we considered each rooms of the clinic as the destinations and transposed “→” into an aisle connecting them together. Specifically, in order to conform to the directionality of the site, a long aisle is set at the center of the building, and necessary rooms that become destinations are arranged on both sides of the building. In the aisle, processing was done on the ceiling surface by whitening the surface deceives the human perception of the real size of the room and ends as a door that allows us to feel the extensibility of the space. As a result, the whole planned as a sensory outside space where the state of light changes throughout the day. The sensory outside which changes according to the natural light installed in the center of the building has connection with each room, thereby preventing excessive consideration on privacy from which leads to a sense of limitation.
The site is a residential area located in the urbanization control area near Nagoya city, development by developers is rapidly progressing around. The clients are a married couple just before the retirement age and his mother who lived there for many years, and the 50 – year – old wooden house where the owner lives at the time was built on the site. The requirements from them were each private rooms and a large floor area beyond the current situation.
For a casual French bistro, an interior design with comfort and a proper sense of tension was pursued.
Only materials such as brass, thick solid wood, and antique scaffold planks – those that would have enhanced characteristics as they age – were used for finishes. Brass was used as eye-catchers for lights, hanger pipes, furniture knobs and handles, window frames, decorative screws, etc., in order to provide gorgeousness to the interior. The antique scaffold planks add a casual atmosphere to the space, preventing it from being too sophisticated.
Within our fieldwork in Asian cities and villages, conducted against a backdrop of increased threats from severe weather and global warming, we sometimes encounter with adaptable housing cultures that border against natural disasters; ecological and customary architectural behaviors that have likened to elements of the natural environment; and methods to help maintain and continue such things. Today, with the rapid urbanization of Southeast Asia, especially from China to the Indochina, the act of observing native and traditional architectures and villages is synonymous with observing their very own destruction and acceptance. The life of barely scraping by, sometimes becoming subject to unlawfully dense surroundings, is very much reliant on the ability to tolerate ambiguity, semitransparent and gradational special qualities, and the architecture`s redundant and updating nature. In this scheme, such qualities were pulled into a tangible plan.
This house offers the family a life to live closer to green. Living room is that the sash is completely full open, and has a space to feel the green integrated north garden and south garden. On 2nd floor balcony, planters are placed randomly, which makes a series of green together with green in front and back of the building. These plants help to cool down the temperature , block sunshine and offer privacy for residents. Planted zone with a vertical ties forms a favorable environment for the residential and region.
This building was planned as the clinic which supported a medical connection with the people from a local child to the elderly.
A client is the doctor who performed medical care to support an area as a family doctor for a long time in this ground. The front road of the site became the attending school road of the elementary school, and the building which had children feel friendly feeling was demanded.
