Sliding Door House
Ibaraki, Japan
Type
YEAR
2012
SIZE
25,000 sqft - 100,000 sqft
This house was built for a husband-and-wife couple and
their two children. Overlooking a field of sweet potatoes, the quiet and
tranquil site lies adjacent to a house occupied by the client's parents. The
space that lies between these two houses is used by local residents as a path,
and retains a sense of easygoing, neighborly charm. In order to preserve a rich
sense of these connections between nature and people, we decided to install a
large sliding door in the front of the house.
The open
living and dining area was positioned to seem as if it was protruding outwards
into the courtyard from the section containing the private spaces of the house.
The upper portion consists of a stairwell, while the sliding door on the first
floor can be opened and closed. The dining room is continuous with the deck
area, creating a connection with the outdoors. In contrast, the living room is
set back more deeply, keeping a certain distance from the exterior while also
maintaining a relaxed atmosphere.
In addition,
by allowing light and wind into the interior and maintaining a symbiotic
relationship with nature rather than seeking to control it, we managed to
create a home that makes minimal use of electronic equipment and appliances,
thereby reducing its environmental impact. In configuring the space we
considered only what was absolutely necessary, and distributed these features
in a way that prioritized simplicity and beauty, without excessive building or
manipulation. As a result, the inhabitants become keenly aware of the landscape
outside and the changes that occur within it.
Thanks to the
large sliding door, the natural landscape that shifts in appearance from day to
day and social exchanges with other people become sources of stimulation,
enriching daily life with these varied experiences.
