Quiet uptown located in the center of Kobe and Osaka at 3 minutes on foot to Shukugawa station. Frontal road is 4.5m, stone sticking is high on the north side, fence, they were some sites.
Client family hoped for the comfortable space which can be spent by everyone to this site. 3 layer structure which looks a mountain range of the open space and Mt.Rokko where it was opened to a town that I arrived around. It's considered housing so that the volume of the building is set as the site inside, and doesn't give an oppressive feeling to a road.
Consequently, it was possible to remove next to the 1st floor of underground + 2 story of ground and a garage roof from floor space.
The outer wall completion was made mortar and the settling atmosphere as if it was at this place from before. There is a front door at the place where planting is led to gentle light whichi puts in the inside of planted long approach and is away from the daily pother. When a door is opened, circled space is spread in existence ishichouhei and a wall of the Aji stone wall which continues an natural wood. A guest room is also a practice room of a ballet which serves both here, and a wall of a mirror makes them feel a spatial expanse. To clear regulation of coverage 40% and high slash limitation, a retaining wall was built and ground line was operated.
A bedroom, a place equipped with a water supply and a storeroom gather a living private part and invite stairs to the 2nd floor just as it is on the 1st floor. The terrace where the 2nd floor is big and one of space which continues. Existence feeling of a deep peak as well as the afternoon sun are also tempered with a view and a breeze come off and that consider facing west and suppress an opening low by wall store. More opening plans to which is from next view on the north side was introduced would improve the visual effect and give pleasure to a daily life through planting in a neighboring land. A wig does each floor, and compatibility of capacity securement is intended while producing getting away of the volume and suppressing overpowering impression.
