House on Sites

Satoshi Matsuoka & Yuki Tamura

Outline: We purchased a vacant lot next to a 40-year-old two-story wooden building that was originally occupied by the client. The existing building was renovated and a gently curved one-story building with a frontage of 2.85 m and a depth of 24.3 m was built on the adjacent lot. A spiral staircase outside provides access to the second floor of the renovated building. The large eave over the terrace of the new building is supported by a single post pillar (φ=70mm) on a rigid steel beam and square pipe frame.
