A detached house built in a quiet uphill neighborhood in Takarazuka.
This highly-elevated platform of residential land has the unique view of airplanes landing and taking off from Osaka Airport's runways as its everyday scenery.
This house was planned to make the most possible use of this view while reflecting the various scenes of the client's daily lifestyle.
99.2 m2 detached residence built in a northeastern corner lot.
Built according to a plan placing it in an urban area densely packed with 20-30 year old residences built in rows and with reconstructions gradually pushing forward forming a typical landscape you might see anywhere.
All the residences undergoing reconstruction around the area are 3 story residences due to height restrictions and come off as cramped, which made it difficult to see this style of construction as appealing.
This house is in the uptown residential area in Takarazuka city, located in halfway up the gentle slope.
The client would like their children to grow up freely and easily in the nature, as for how to spend time on holidays, the family would prefer to go on a picnic or a camp, rather not to go to the city, therefore the house is required to be easy, comfortable, compact, but open and rich. The plan was created with a wish that the daily life would foster sensitivity of the beauty of nature.
House on two levels of medium size built on a hill on a trapezoidal plot in a suburb in the district of Hyōgo, overlooking Ōsaka bay. Wooden structure, whitewashed walls and sloping pitched roof. Sleeping area on the ground floor – three bedrooms with bathroom and entrance hall (genkan) – and living area on the first floor – wc, kitchen, patio, dining area, sitting room and Japanese room (washitsu).
This is a residential house located in a new development site in Takarazuka, Japan. Because of the solid nature of the ground, we decided to make a building only by putting a roof over the sloped terrain without modifying it.
