｢山々を取り込む家｣

東京都八王子市高尾町で計画した住宅。周囲が高尾の山々に囲まれて街もその空気感を纏っている。ここでは、住宅の内部にその外部の空気感を取り入れることで、高尾の山々が居住空間と繋がり、あたかも高尾の山に住んでいるような空間を目指した。

建物は天井高約5mの筒状に大きく屋根を架けたような大空間とし、外がそのまま繋がるようなボリュームで設定した。1階は庭とLDK、各居室は4隅に点在させた2階建てのヴォリュームの中に納め、移動の瞬間も同様の体験ができるよう各部屋をブリッジで繋いだ。

南北の開口部には高さ約5mのスライドサッシを設けた。サッシが開くことで外と完全につながる。床から天井まで開放でき、高尾山の木々の空気を建物内全体に取り入れる。奥行きを設けてLDKを建物奥に配置しているので雨が降っても問題はない。室内から見える庭やその先の山々の景色を遮断することなく感じられ、建物内は吹き抜け空間で全て繋がっているため、どこにいても山の空気感を感じることができる。

以上のように、ここでは空間の取り方やサッシのスケール等を考えていくことで、建主の生活と外部の環境が繋がり、結果として山の空気を取り入れた豊かな住まいとなったと考えている。

“A House That Embraces the Mountains”

A residence planned in Takao-cho, Hachioji City, Tokyo. Surrounded by the mountains of Takao, the town itself carries that same atmospheric quality. Here, by bringing the external atmosphere into the home's interior, the aim was to connect the living space with the Takao mountains, creating a space where one feels as if they are living within Mount Takao itself.

The building features a large, tubular space with a ceiling height of approximately 5 meters, designed with a generously pitched roof. The volume was conceived to remain as open as possible. The first floor houses the garden and the living-dining-kitchen area. The bedrooms are contained within a two-story volume scattered at the four corners. Each room is connected by bridges, ensuring that the experience of movement mirrors the connection to the surroundings.

Approximately 5-meter-high sliding sash windows were installed in the north-south openings. Opening these sashes creates a complete connection with the outside. The space can be opened from floor to ceiling, allowing the air from the trees of Mount Takao to flow throughout the entire building. The living-dining-kitchen area is positioned deep within the building, so rain is not an issue. The view of the garden and the mountains beyond, visible from inside, remains unobstructed. Because the interior is connected by a double-height space, the sensation of the mountain air can be felt from anywhere within the building.

As described above, by carefully considering spatial arrangements and the scale of the sash windows, we believe this design connects the client's daily life with the external environment, resulting in a home that truly embraces the mountain air.
