House in Minamimachi
During the process of
designing for a small plot of land, there are a lot of times in which the form
of the building is steered by legal constraints. If you are is thinking of how
you can have the most floor space, the outer shape of the building is
automatically decided by how the permitted ratio of square footage to property
size, so the architectural design comes out of the number of stories built just
to increase the floor space. Here, I’m thinking about the possibility of space that
can be made by subtraction. This building was made to slightly exceed its
allotted coverage ratio, so each floor fluctuates in shape. The sections that
slide out function as lighting design elements, bringing in the outside
environment. I’ve changed the shape of each floor freely according to its
intended purpose and features, turning them into spaces with a sense of
distance and perspective, maintaining privacy even in crowded urban areas where
housing units are close together, creating a bright, well-lit living space.
Before you know it, design that starts from the rules, from the legal
restrictions, can become stronger restrictions than the rules. By starting the
design away from the legal constraints, by designing the way we start to plan,
we can have buildings that possess a degree of freedom. Just by changing the
bottom line a little, I want to pinpoint the things we’ve overlooked, the
elements of richness, and design richness around that subtraction.
