Opposed to the previous project “WITH”, this house is located on an urban area in Kanagawa, Japan. When constructed there were already 3 houses built in the North, East, and West, less than 1 meter away from a property line.
In the past 60 years, as information technology progressively have changed in Japan, our housing industry has rapidly become adjusted to it. This “forced adjustment” to our society has caused a transformation to our traditional lifestyle, and the housing space has been often talked by “nLDK” ; n (number of private rooms) L (living) D (dining) K (kitchen). The concept of nLDK is to describe how much value your house has. The spatial flexibility and relationship (private and public) among n, L, D, and K are separated and lost, and as a result, “function” started to walk alone. Read More...
The Horizontal House by Anna Nakamura + Taiyo Jinno / EASTERN design office
The Horizontal House is located in a small village in Japan. The old appearance of the village consists only of six houses. This particular house is located on the north edge of the village and therefore makes puts it in a prominent place. It was EASTERN design’s intention to form the scenery from there.
When you enter the house, you will be surprised at the sequence of the view, where the slits cut out, and also the amount of space. Because of the horizontal slits that surrounds the entire house there is scenery wherever you look.
You see different sceneries through the horizontal slit by moving the position of your vision, even when you’re standing on equal heights. The river and the village in the other side are seen when standing, the mountain is seen when sitting, and the sky is seen when lying down. You will find another slit through the slit.
BIG and a team of consultants has won the largest commission happened on the Faroe Islands for a 19.200 m2 Education Centre in Torshavn.
The site in which the house is created faces the sea and inclines toward it by a vertical distance. TAKAO SHIOTSUKA ATELIER arranged the residence to be in the center of the site. They constructed the house in a plane shape so that all it’s focus is towards the sea.
