| House
in Izumi-chuo We are currently designing the house located in the suburbs of Yokohama City. The site is situated on the hill side being turned into series of housing lots along with the huge housing land developments taking place in this area. This kind of landscape is now becoming common sights in the typical Japanese Suburbs. The surrounding houses are sitting quite indifferently on the existing parking garage and the retaining walls pre-provided on each housing lots. Our design approach was to seek the new relationship between the new house and these existing structures. We placed 1st floor on the existing structure keeping its height as low as possible so that these structures will also become the parts of the design elements. The 2nd floor is elevated from the lower volume while it is being set back from the adjacent streets. It enable to obtain the clear view from 2nd floor living room and also to create various spaces inside as well as outside of the house. |
