S住宅，东京 / Keiji Ashizawa

House S

House S is located in a quiet residential area in a center of Tokyo. The site is of the house is a cul-de-sac, removed from the main thoroughfares, and was once a samurai residence, so their are old pine and zelkova trees in the area.

Such surroundings, even in the midst of the city, significantly impacted the design. The house includes many gardens on each floor of the house, to bring the surrounding landscape into the house. In the end, the house will be part of this larger landscape, and in the meantime the green surroundings will help with privacy.

The clients wanted to insure that they could enjoy this larger landscape, as well as the art and furnishings that they have collected. We extensively discussed both their life style and a setting for these furnishings – and how to mold materials, light, air and space to fit this broader goal. All materials, lighting and space are in constructed within the house to work with art and furniture, as well as function. Details and colors are considered for these things. They should be silent, but should have an identity. Most of the design details were developed specifically for this house, with this overall purpose in mind, down to handles, steps and windows.

The structure is complex, but we tried not to make this visible. The space was considered first in terms of the light from the outside, the flow of air, and the planning of art. Enjoyable to see or feel each in the space, and on each level, showing four clear seasons with different light and feelings. House-S, take clients name and site name as it was created out of the fusion of the the multitude of things that were important to the site and to the client, rather than for a single, simple theme.

S宅位于东京都中心的安静住宅区内，这里曾是武士的居住地，长着那个时期留下的古松和榉树。宅子的环境影响了宅子的设计。各个花园交错在每一个楼层上，底层的绿化最为多，同时保护了住宅的隐私。客户想要同时享受景观，以及他们收集的艺术品和家具。建筑师与客户交流并理解了客户的生活方式，在设计师考虑到了这些家具的摆放，以及相配的光线和空间。

房间中的材料，功能，照明 ，空间，细节，以及色彩经过深思熟虑。复杂的结构被隐藏起来，空间开敞并与室外流通相连，能够感到变化的光线和分明的四季。这并非一个单纯的主题，而是融合场地与客户需求的多要求的创作。
