House in HATSUGANO

NRM*Architects Office as Architects

Located in Osaka Izumi, housing for young couple and the children who will be born future. It is located in the new residential area of typical suburban. The south side is in contact with the road , in order to get the lighting from the south side, the houses that line the neighborhood is provided towards the road side of the large windows on site. But the window of them have been closed by the shutter and curtain for all day long. It's has the shape of a typical city by leading house builders and ready-built skilled in the art. I thought you would like to improve this situation in the "house of Hatsugano". This architecture was volume configuration that "low-rise of the south" and "height of two layers the north side which is the main living space", "to insert a courtyard in the middle" .in addition, by the sunlight that pours from above obliquely upward, regardless of the season, without closing the shutter and curtains during the day, it is possible to supply the lighting on the north side of volume which is the main living space. This way, it was also realized ensure privacy by being a facade closed. Deep waves that characterized the appearance have been given the role to prevent an increase in room temperature. Because of to prevent light entering into the room and block the sunlight in the summer high culmination altitude and encourage an increase in room temperature leads to light deep into the living room without having to block the sunlight in the winter low culmination altitude.
