東東京のマンションリノベーションである。
コンパクトに住みながらも、日当たりや風通しなどの自然と触れ合える住環境で、家族の気配が感じられる開かれた生活が望まれた。
既存の田の字型プランを受け継ぎ、造作柱を中心にガラス戸や床仕上げの切替えなど半透明な境界で領域を分けている。
界壁に沿ったカウンターは、矢印のように意識を外側に向かわせる。光のグラデーションに合わせて活動が変化するように、カウンターの高さや設備を整えた。良質な光が差し込むバルコニー側は、静かに憩う縁側のような空気が生まれている。
和紙貼りの壁やキッチンのタイル、柿渋塗りのラワンなど、微細な凹凸を持った素材が、光の質感を伝えてくれる。
玄関や洗面からバルコニーを見通せる窓を開け、どこにいても外部が隣にいてくれる状態をつくった。
都会の抽象化した自然を確実にとらえ、人間との新しい関係を再構築した。
季節の移ろいと共に生活が営まれる小さな住宅。
This is a renovation project in east Tokyo. The client wished for an open lifestyle where they could feel the presence of a family, in a compact living environment where they could get in touch with nature such as wind and sunlight.
In planning a house, although a compact residence, we proposed an open living environment where residents could be in touch with nature such as wind and sunlight, and where they could feel the presence of their family.
The existing house had a typical old Japanese plan, with no windows in the living room or bedrooms, and a dim, damp atmosphere with poor ventilation. While we took over the existing plan, we created an open and comfortable space by dividing the area with central column and translucent boundaries, such as a glass door, floor finishes. The counter along the wall directs your consciousness outside. We arranged the height of the counter and facilities so that activities would change according to the gradation of light. The balcony side where high-quality light shines in are like Engawa (Japanese wood deck) where you can quietly relax.
The materials that have slight unevenness, the Japanese paper wall, tile in kitchen and lauan coated with persimmon juice, a traditional Japanese natural paint, transmit texture of light.
We create the situation where outside is next to you, by opening the window to the washroom and entrance so you can see through to balcony.
It captured abstract nature of central city with certainty and rebuilt new relationship with human.
Small house where the life is lived with change of seasons.
