A vacation home built in the resort area of Hakone. The site is located in the special area regulated under the Natural Parks Law,and has strict regulations on the ratio of green coverage and roof pitch. We built a hipped roof that covered the sight within the maximum regulation allowed, and created an exterior space under the eaves that wouldn't be affected by the weather in the mountains. The eaves acted as an umbrella, a parasol, a reflex board that carried the sunlight from the South, and also as a frame of the beautiful view of Mount Fujiyama. By acquiring enough wall quantity with the irregularity of the wall surfaces, and the eaves, we have succeeded in creating a new layer that is completely separate from the outside.
A holiday rental home located in an hour distance from Tokyo. It is a rare site situated in right adjacent to the ocean and Mt. Fuji and Enoshima can be seen on the opposite shore. The side facing towards the ocean is the Northern area, and a road with row of condominiums and heavy traffic running by its side. Thus, while building a large aperture enables an open view to the ocean, it also draws all the attention from the road and condominiums. Our goal was to find a universal solution to those problems. The tunnel-like space not only controls the line of sight, but its perspective also creates a picture-frame effect to the view seen from the aperture. Each tube is arranged with different materials and shapes in order to each project has a different image of the ocean. The variations are almost infinite.
By randomly placing narrow long volume of containers which its shape is defined by transportation conditions, has lead in producing each guest room with a unique and different view as well as creating multiple panoramic scenes while taking a stroll around the premises.
