This project is a process for a residence built in a rural area of Hokkaido, which considers the necessity and universality of locality born from modern customs. A residence appears as an extension of daily life, and while its form is linked to the way of life and the local climate, it is a space that can respond generously to changes in lifestyle, and the work involved spatializing a place where the entire site becomes "the area around here.
" The aim was to create a generous space where the entire site is an ambiguous place that can respond to diverse perspectives and interactions. The plan was created to fill the entire site, exceeding the building coverage ratio, and by hollowing out part of the roof to adjust the building coverage ratio, a generous one-room space of approximately 250 m2 was born that feels like "the area around here."
In this space, something resembling a room name appears depending on the perspective and interaction, but as time passes and customs change, the perspective and interaction also change, and so does the room name. In modern terms, this space is one in which the programming can be rewritten, and it is a universal building that has acquired a sense of universality by responding to and resolving the various localities that architecture inevitably faces.
