Design gist A villa nestled in a small cove overlooking the Shodoshima island to the north. The cove surrounded on both sides by little mountains, only 7 house faces. So to speak terrain that was blessed not strange to say that is a private beach. What kind of Architecture would be appropriate here? , however the consequence, would be home that is open to the sea of course. Cross-section image would be to overlook the sea sat on a gentle roof. Also in plan view, configurations in which both sides are closed to focus more on the Beach. Long tunnel residence, north to south, is a container type of box dwelling. Considered as a development type, having walls curved like a shoulder drum. Sea view of north is framed by the extension of its wide spread picture box.
How to fit functions into such space? Functions must not obstruct the single connected quality of this space. Storage box is nested in the central axis, dedicating southern side to the bedroom space, kitchen and living facing north to the sea with a surface on their back. The outlook bath and observation deck is the extension of the living. Provided with a bulge in the middle of the neck curve line, for the fire stove and ablutions. The curve line is also for structural purposes. Structure is by the sea (gust), wooden conventional method by budget, axial connection of short-side direction is not enough. Curving the long walls from north and south outwards (angled) gives stability. Due to these trapezoids, open integral space is possible with this framing structure.
Raised floor, also is one of the features. Height 1 meter of embankment is deer by the sea. Simple gaze does not foresee the sea in the floor height of ordinary residence. Therefore, lifting the floor height to 1.5 m, giving its floating views. Upper wooden axial construction is placed on the RC foundation basis. Also the entrance eliminated, sense of solitude from the ground.
