旗竿状で周囲を建物に囲まれている敷地での住宅の計画。施主からは自然を感じることができ広く開放的な空間を求められた。ここで考えたのは、まず２層分の吹抜けのワンルーム空間をつくり、外部→屋根のある外部→外部のような内部→完全な内部という順番で場所を配置して、中央のLDKに向かって外部から内部をグラデーション的に配置すること。そこから個室を点在させた板貼りのボリュームの中におさめて各々をブリッジでつなぎ、プライバシーを確保しつつもどこにいても家族と自然を感じられるようにした。そのブリッジはロフトのような廊下のような存在となり移動する楽しさを得られるものとしている。そして大きな特徴のひとつとして、南北に高さ５mの大きなスライドドアを配置した。全開すると、あたかも２層分の壁が無くなったように外とつながり、風が一気に部屋中を通り抜ける。この状況はもはや家全体が屋根のある外のような状態となり、開放的でありながらも閉じたような安心感を得ながら自然を感じられる豊かさを実現させるものとなっている。 部屋の配置と境界を区切る建具のありかたを考えて、家族との距離感と自然との向き合い方を考えた住宅である。

A house designed for Takao, a district of Hachiōji city in Tokyo prefecture. Although its flagpole-shaped plot is surrounded by other buildings, the mountains of Takao can be glimpsed through gaps to the north and south. In this case, we wanted to incorporate nature into the design of the building, including the character of the surrounding landscape. We situated a living-dining kitchen area in the center of an atrium space with a height of five meters. The atrium is connected to an inner terrace, with a five-meter tall sliding door positioned at the boundary with the outside, beyond which we have placed a glass-roofed terrace. This configuration allows the light and greenery of the trees to filter indoors, enabling the sensation of being out of doors even when inside. In addition, opening the five-meter sliding door creates a sense of openness, as though the interior of the room were suddenly outside when a breeze flows through the house – as if the walls have disappeared. The four voluminous enclosures clad with wooden boards house private rooms and water facilities. Each of these rooms connects to the space of the central atrium, allowing family members to keep tabs on one another. The enclosures are also each linked with bridges, so that each room will be accessed through the living room. The creation of multiple levels offers the enjoyment of moving along loft-like walkways. The house is designed with the idea of enabling a sense of nature in everyday life, and so that no matter where they are, family members will be able to appreciate the rich experience of life together.
