BARN HOUSE

摘要

Barn house is our first realized work. Until the preliminary design stage, we had concentrated on expressing our vision of architecture in various writings. On starting the construction work, however, we were forced to make a great many changes, in our approach to the exterior wall skin, for example, and how to finish the eaves and the kind of flooring to use. Many of these changes were due to technical restrictions at the site or else the climatic restrictions of Hokkaido. To build in Hokkaido's characteristic climatic and geographic conditions demanded solutions fitting that environment rather than the universal solutions normally learned.
