S-house | coil kazuteru matumura architects

□The house is built in a common Japanese residential area, which has a space to

accommodate a family as a whole.

With the intention to find the best balance, the house was designed to provide easy

flexibility and space options based on the personal needs of the family, rather than

using the maximum floor space according to the building regulations.

The house offers an open feeling, while at the same time providing enough privacy

for the residential area in which it is located. An exterior concrete wall that

surrounds the terrace, the fixed window facing south and the fixed window facing to

the east towards the railway, accomplishes this.

The 2 floors are connected by an open ceiling space design, only having some

wooden boxes inserted to serve necessary functions.

The second floor offers some spacing options that can be separated by curtains or

doors hanging from the structures, with rails notched into the wood. This allows the

family to select multiple options for set up.
