House in YahataRealized

Connecting multi-directional scenery

It is a house planned in the suburbs of Hiroshima city. The Yawata River flows to the west of the site, and if you look to the north, you can see the mountains leading to Yuki Onsen. Furthermore, to the south, the wooded area of my parents' house was continuous with the site, creating a rich environment where you can enjoy the scenery in multiple directions. The owner chose this place where he could leave his home in the city center and live a life surrounded by his hobbies, outdoor doors and plants, along with a rich natural environment. In this plan, as a "house where the scenery is connected in multiple directions", the whole is constructed while considering the unique way of looking according to each direction. In other words, I thought that a house like "a node connecting living and scenery" would be suitable for this place, and proceeded with the plan.

[South direction]
An L-shaped south garden and LDK have been placed to create a connection with the thickets of the parents' house that can be seen in front. The opening of the LDK can be opened in an L shape to fit the garden. In addition, it creates a deep eaves space together with the garden, adjusts the sunlight, and also functions as a rain shield for plants. Furthermore, by creating a large staircase that looks like an audience seat as an extension of the living room, we have created a space where you can enjoy the view of the garden by sitting down, not just as a function of raising and lowering.
[West direction]
You can see the Hachiman River from the westward view, but considering that there is a lot of traffic along the river and there is a lot of line of sight and noise during the day, we built a "sloping fence". By cutting the fence diagonally, it becomes an intermediate situation between "opening" and "closing", and you can enjoy the scenery without a line of sight while closing. In addition, the slope of the fence combined with the roof creates an integral connection with the building, and is in harmony with the mountains in the distant view. From the balcony on the 2nd floor, you can see the Hachiman River and its distant view.
[North direction]
You can see the mountains leading to Yuki Onsen. The landing of the stairs was expanded and a counter was set up to make it a study area. You can enjoy reading while feeling the changing scenery as well as going up and down the stairs. By opening the sash on the south side and the sash on the study counter, the wind will pass from north to south, and by opening the sash in the corridor on the second floor, the wind will also pass in the upward and downward directions.

For the owner, who has a lot of visitors, not only the living room but also the space where the guests can relax in various places is an important element of living. I think that a way of living that does not fix the place and does not limit the scenery is a new home to be built by the family.

多方向の景色を繋ぐ

広島市の郊外地に計画しました住宅です。敷地の西側は八幡川が流れ、北側に目を向けると、湯来温泉に繋がる山並みを望むことができます。さらに南隣は実家の 雑木林が敷地と連続し、多方向に景色が楽しめる豊かな環境でした。建主はこれまで暮らしてきた市内中心部の住まいを離れ、豊かな自然環境とともに趣味のアウ トドアや植物たちに囲まれた生活を送ることができるこの場所を選ばれました。今回の計画では「多方向に景色が繋がる住宅」として、各方位に合わせた固有の見 せ方を考えながら全体を構成しています。つまり「暮らしと景色をつなぐ結節点」のような住宅がこの場所にふさわしいのではと考え、計画を進めていきました。

【南方向】
正面に見える実家の雑木林とのつながりをつくるためにL字型の南庭とLDKを配置しました。LDKの開口は庭に合わせてL字に開放できます。また庭と合わせて奥行 きの深い軒下空間をつくり、日射調整を行うとともに植物たちの雨除けとしての機能も果たしています。さらにリビングの延長として客席のような大階段をつくる ことにより、昇降の機能としてだけではなく、腰をかけることで庭の景色を楽しむことができる空間としました。
【西方向】
西方向の景色は八幡川を望むことができますが、川沿いの交通量が多く視線と日中の騒音が大きいことを考慮して「傾斜塀」を立てました。塀を斜めに切ることで 「開く」「閉じる」の中間的な状況となり、閉じながらも視線の抜けた景色を楽しむことができます。さらに屋根と合わせた塀の勾配が建物と一体的な繋がりをつ くり出すとともに、遠景に見える山並みとの調和を図っています。2階のバルコニーからは八幡川とその遠景を望むことができます。
【北方向】
湯来温泉に繋がる山並みを望むことができます。階段の踊り場を拡張し、カウンター設けて書斎エリアとしました。階段の昇降だけでなく、景色の移ろいを感じな がら読書などを楽しむことができます。南側のサッシと書斎カウンター上のサッシを開放することで南北に風が通り、さらに2階廊下のサッシも開放することで、上 下方向にも風が通る計画としています。

来客の多い建主にとっては、客人にリビングだけではなく、様々な場所で寛いでいただくための空間が大切な住まいの要素となります。場所を固定しない、風景を 限定しない暮らし方が、家族で築く新たな住まいだと考えています。
