クライアンが選んだ土地は、和泉山脈の麓にありました。そこは山脈から吹く風と田園風景が印象的であり、この風と景色を建物内に取り込みたいと感じました。そこで、風が建物北側の開口部から室内全体に流れ、南側の開口部から中庭に抜けるように建物を配置。さらに寝室以外を仕切りのないオープンな空間にし、各階をスキップフロアでゆるやかにつなげることで、室内に風が通りやすいよう設計しました。スキップフロアは、目線のズレが生じ、共有スペースとプライベート空間をうまく分けることができます。奥さまからは「家事をしながらでも、常に子どもの様子を感じることができて安心」と好評です。

A land that the owner chose locates at the foot of the Izumi Mountains. A wind blowing from the mountain and spread landscape of field crops are impressive so that the owner felt to take them into architecture. The building, therefore, designed according to the flow of wind that comes from the opening on the north side to the entire room, then flows to the courtyard through the opening on the south side. Furthermore, the rooms’ structure designed as the open space without any partitions except the bedroom so that it built that the air can be easy to pass through the room by the gentle split-level floor for each floor. The split-level floor generates the gap of the residents’ perspective and allows them to divide the shared space and the private space well. This space composition seems well-received from his wife. - “I can feel how children are doing safety while doing housework.”
