House of Shiroyama
Hiroyama, Sayo District, Japan
Project Featured on Oct 29, 2019
Type
STATUS
Built
YEAR
2012
SIZE
5000 sqft - 10,000 sqft
Charred wooden planks wrap the exterior of
the 'House in Shiroyama' by Japanese practice Araki + Sasaki architects (A+Sa),
differentiating it from its neighbors in the suburban area. The two-story
wood-frame construction takes on the shape of a regular square, characterized
on the inside by the exposed natural plywood textures and surfaces and open
spaces that expose the true scale of the structure from the social areas on the
ground floor. The pitched roof gently rises on each side equally until
reaching a square skylight that forms a structural ring allowing natural light
to illuminate the entire interior. The construction was approached from a
DIY technique, using standard member sizes and connections to allow for easy
future expansion and a rational structural grid. The knots of the plywood
filled and polished with epoxy resin. The ground level contains the kitchen and
dining areas on an elevated wooden platform, with a private bathroom and
bedroom. The wooden beams that hold up the loft level floorboards are left
uncovered allowing a direct visual connection. A staircase at the entrance
connects to the partial second story that can be used as a living or working
space.
