Yutenji Apartments is
in a dense residential area of Tokyo.
L shaped site is surrounded by small houses except the tip of the L. Yutenji
Apartments had a task to use maximum volume and floor permitted as an apartment
complex for rent.The inside of L is a passage on the premises. The
rest is the volume of the building. The walls facing to the passage is painted
in gloss white up to 2nd floor to concert with 2 storied neighborhoods; a
comfortable aggregate of small houses.
The passage needed some
abstract atmosphere to wipe away shabby feeling out of the density of 6
dwelling units in a small site, 165sq.meters Thus the white walls were designed
in individualistic way to give an abstract air, such as expansion joints that
were placed irregularly, window frames with non-rectangular shapes, 6 entrance
doors in different designs chosen out of descent needs. In addition artistic
pattern were marked on the passage surface with ditch covers. At the end the
passage could have some open and light feeling as if an open space of a gallery
or a small library.
Pine
wood was chosen for the border fence. Wood is rare material for exterior in Tokyo, a dense city, in
terms of regulations against fire. By limiting the using part to the fence wood
was applicable. This rare material in the city became a charm of Yutenji
Apartments. Moreover the interior wooden boxes with plywood which are bathrooms
and the wooden fences of the passage visually connect interior and exterior. Interior is structured with two different finishes;
exposed concrete and white wallpaper over insulation. The walls and slabs
exposed to outside need insulations and are finished with wallpaper, and the
others are not. This simple rule gives individual expression to each interior
space.
