Riverside house

The site is slanted toward the river, and the north wind peculiar to this place goes down the slope. The house is plotted parallel to the river, and the shape sticking out of the slope looks like a ship waiting for the launching.


Two volumes are divided into two abstract, one as private space with child room and master bedroom and another as public space with kitchen and living room. The outside deck space between the two volumes is used as an outside dining. And on the upper part parallel with the river, bathroom and the guesthouse are located.


In addition, this house is planned as a place to spend happily not only with the family but also with friends who rents villa nearby. A big dining table made with concrete is placed in the big living room, which leads to the deck space pushed out to the river. Deck space equal size to the inside space becomes an outside dining space with the barbecue grill.


The pre-cast concrete panel is used for the outer wall and wall of north side and east side. This controls the eyes and also protects the house from north wind and the afternoon sun. Riverside house was designed to exist lightly and manly, as to solve the special problems and as a folly of the rich landscape.
