This is a house for a family of three.
Tanada, a terraced paddy field, widely appears to its south and the west. My first visit to this site was in early summer, three years ago. The bright green and reflection of rice field water just after the rice planting, natural sounds of breeze slightly rustling the leaves of lemon trees and Magnolia figo, and the sound of running water from the waterway had created comfortable scenery there. It was a calm place and there was nothing cutting off my view from the site
I did not want to design an unsociable utopia nor a symbol of the scenery there; conversely, I wanted to create a house that can participate in the flow of the natural environment around it. Accordingly, I decided to make passages from south to north on the first floor and from east to west on the second floor.
Three gate-shaped frames that compose wall, floor, and ceiling are layered in tiers of 14 inches in each direction. Outside lines of the wall surface and the ceiling are aligned with the inside lines, which make internal and external eyes fall out smoothly. On the first floor, the front room, living room, wood deck, and garden form a straight line toward the slope of tanada from the north side. The first floor also connects to the dining room and the reading room on the second floor, through the gap of the frame from the south side. On the second floor, the gaps of the ceiling frame become high side windows for ventilation and lighting. Some plastering boxes are appropriately put between frames. They are shoes closet, pantry, restroom, and so on.
I answered the client requests “we want to awake in the morning sunlight,” “we want to doze in the comfortable breeze,” “we want to feel the atmosphere of the family anywhere in the house,” and “but we need lots of storage room.” I feel that this house became "a passage of landscape" that can feel differences of light, wind, sound, and width of the sky depending on the space; the inside and outside continue to the scenery.
