Slow Light House

Tsukasa Nishida + ON Design Partners

Outline: The owner of the house has a handicap in his eyes and wanted a situation where the gap between the intensity of light and the weakness of light does not occur so much in the whole activity area including the outside. Therefore, in this house, the boundary surface that creates the contrast of light between inside and outside is eliminated, and the whole site is considered to be similarly bright. Specifically, the garden is placed at the three corners of the site, and the light is limited to enter the garden from the top, and the lattice-shaped eaves are turned to the corridor in the garden. The remaining folds shaped by the garden are the entrance, LDK, Japanese-style room, and bedroom, and the experience in each garden is felt to be continuous across the interior space, from the garden, inside, to the garden, inside, giving a glimpse of the activities in other places. In addition, there is a slope from the entrance to the interior space.
