这栋宅子位于东京郊外，周边有许多普通的木结构房子。建筑师在这里设计了一座表面印有木纹的混凝土房子，与周围房子产生对比。房屋的体量也和周边建筑无异。家里的桌子，椅子，床和地板的界限被模糊。厨房的工作台面延伸变成办公桌和客厅的地板。在这里，个人空间被重新定义。

Layering of Scenes

Summary

This house was constructed on a narrow site just outside of Tokyo where there are many ordinary wooden suburban houses.  On this site, we decided to arrange a concrete volume to create the beautiful contrast with those houses. On the other hand, the exterior concrete wall was made with a surface wood-grain, and also it is a house-shaped form to match the surrounding houses.

Concept

We arranged the house-shaped form architecture on the residential district close to Tokyo of old wooden suburban houses. Wood-gain concrete facade symbolizes surrounding wooden buildings.

In this house there are various devices so a family living here can find various personal space. The floor substitutes for the table, chair, and beds. The kitchen countertop expands to be a work desk and living room floor. Here we can find new personal spaces. Two long rounded walls connect the scene outside to the 2nd floor living room.
