Big Loft House | KOMINORU design
Tokyo / Japan / 2020
Description (English):
There was a traditional scenery of thatched-roof houses and rice fields In the Tokyo west side area. We tried to revive the original scenery by a thick thatched-roof.
We made a large volume roof with a continuous eaves and set back window holes.
The daughter is living in the big roof and her parents is living under the roof. By big roof we created a reasonably independent upper and lower space.
The surplus space of the roof is designed for a high side light for the 1st floor. That makes the 1st floor is filled with charming day lights and quiet environment.
The 2nd floor is a playful hideaway space like a large attic.
The layout of the windows follows the pattern of the wood chips to create a cohesive appearance.
Description (Japanese):
大屋根の家
かやぶき屋根の農家と一面に広がる畑の風景があちこちで見られた西東京一帯、
その懐かしい風景を、茅葺きのような厚みのある大屋根で再現した。
大屋根と軒の連続したボリュームを作り出し、窓をセットバックさせることで、奥行きのある塊を表現した。
大屋根の下に住む両親と、大屋根に住む子。 一つ屋根の下ながらも、程よく独立した上下の空間を作った。
斜め屋根の下部の余剰空間をハイサイドに変えることで、1Fを間接光で明るく照らした。
2Fは大きな屋根裏のような、遊び心を掻き立てる隠れ家空間とした 。
窓の配置をウッドチップのパターンに追随させることで一体感ある外観を形成した。
