House in Chiharada

Kentaro Kurihara＋Miho Iwatsuki／studio velocity

Outline: This is a two-story house for a young couple built on the site of the main house. The rooms on the first floor, with their low ceilings, each have a stairwell leading to the second floor, which rises to a maximum height of approximately 7 meters. The staircase wing creates a space like an alley in the public room space, and the numerous openings considered from the perspective of sight lines bring the relationship between the second floor and the ground and between the first floor and the sky closer.
