Rib House

Kazu Uehara Atelier Architects

Outline: RC ribs (sleeve walls) divide the space into areas of about 4.5 tatami mats, and six areas are developed per floor. 300mm "underground beams" are erected on the first floor, and the ceiling height under the beams on the second floor is 1,800mm, bringing about physical actions such as "straddling" and "passing through". The emphasis on ribs can also be seen in the layout of the formwork and the processing of the small end of the formwork.
