The combination of modernity and tradition can often collide with more intriguing and beautiful works, such as the Louvre Museum, which shows the beauty of the pyramid in the form of glass. This special building in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan, cooperates with the Japanese Naoi Architecture and Design Office , using glass to present the traditional hipped roof, trying to interpret the traditional architectural style with modernity.
This is a typical middle-class family in Japan. Their request is simple: a private residence with a two-car garage. Japanese Naoi Architects proposed the concept of "spacious bungalow terrace" to share the open space with surrounding neighbors and connect with nature.
The architectural shape refers to the traditional hipped roof, but the height is increased and a large area of ??glass is used instead. Natural light is injected into the house, and the warmth and brightness of the entire living space are greatly improved.
The appearance of the building is very eye-catching. The house seems to have a clear waistline that cuts the building from the center and divides it into two parts: a rectangular base and a trapezoidal roof, just like the square houses I drew when I was a child.
There is a narrow glass door on the south side of the house facing south, which is the main entrance of the house. It is somewhat hidden due to the cover of several plants outside the door. There is also a back door leading to the courtyard.
Many wooden beams are placed inside the roof, and the overall shape of the building echoes the mountains and terraces in the distance.
The open interior space is about 230 square meters, with the main living space on the first floor and a small attic on the second floor.
With the living room as the center, it is surrounded by bedrooms, toilets, dining rooms and kitchens. Each area is separated by sliding doors. When all the sliding doors are opened, a connected space is formed.
The combination of pure white and wood colors makes the overall feel fresh and pure. The wooden stairs leading up to the attic have a simple and compact structure.
The sound of the childs piano fills the whole home with a warm atmosphere.
There is also a sliding door leading to the courtyard next to the living room. It extends from here to form a terrace. After the door is opened, it can be connected to the outdoors without boundaries.
"The entire south side of the hip roof is a large sky window, where one can enjoy the beautiful view of the sky. On the north side, one can admire the trees and sun gardens under the low eaves. The large hip roof, this The main design feature is the construction of wooden roof beams and rafters, supporting simple symbolic forms. 》
The attic and the small balcony outside hidden under the eaves are the children’s secret base.
Only the kitchen has red walls, which looks very special.
Through design, architecture has more possibilities. It not only allows the present to be combined with tradition, but also allows people to have more integration with nature through different materials and creativity. Glass allows natural skylight to enter, which can Expanding the terrace connected to the outdoors also makes indoor life no longer limited. Living in such a building, your body and mind are like outdoor plants, full of sunshine, oxygen and vitality!
