BROKEN PITCHED ROOF HOUSE

摘要

This house stands in a wooden residential area steeped in the castle town history and enclosed historical walls. Therefore we built a wooden blind wall followed the site boundary line to uphold the context and designed the inner side of this wall to maximize gardens. A living room, private rooms, a main bedroom and a drawing room are placed in four corners, and a dining room 4 family members often gather is at the center. We covered the entire house with a big broken pitched roof and lowered the eave height to protect privacy. The continuous roof leads the interior space to gardens and gives a sense of openness within the enclosing wall. The four pairs of the concrete wall support the curved roof. The skylight from the heightened center of the roof provides openness and symbolic character. We hope this house can evolve the tradition little by little like their community-based life.
