Timber Dentistry
Minoo, Japan
Project Featured on Sep 14, 2014
YEAR
2014
SIZE
1000 sqft - 3000 sqft
BUDGET
$500K - 1M
This location became a Housing Expo 90 years ago, and its quiet ambience remains in the residential surroundings. After 11 months of research and analysis of the environment, the design was developed for the convenience of people in everyday life with the flow of time. Timber Dentistry will stand as iconic architecture that signifies its remaining value, which in the future, endeavors to mend environmental conflicts.
Orientation and shape of the surrounding residential area influenced the silhouette of the structure’s west elevation. A gable roof blends into the neighborhood and draws an arc towards the west side, showing a hint of modernism. To give a warm impression to the exterior facade, natural materials of wood are used, where walls stand as a white canvas that complements cherry blossoms in season.
The timber structure is enhanced by the transparency of glass, which captivates attention from the eye-level pedestrian on the first floor. Timber material in inner space blends with the street of cherry blossoms, thus the architecture itself aimed to blend the inner and outer spaces. The project intends to develop a reproduction method while preserving its historic context even in a small building.
