The Sliced House by Yukihiro Nakagawa

Home > Winners > #157953




DESIGN DETAILS
DESIGN NAME:
The Sliced

PRIMARY FUNCTION:
House

INSPIRATION:
The house is simple but unique, looking like a cut up block of cheese from a cartoon. It is as if you cut a piece of cheese piece and walk inside.The windows provide a view of nature which changes with the seasons. Other windows let in light and the building is designed ecologically requiring no electricity during the day.

UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The client's request was for a compact house, eliminating any wasted space while increasing the family and storage space. We designed the living room to be the central gathering area of the house, visible immediately after opening the front door. This means that the children cannot go to their rooms without passing through the living room. We also ensured that the living room provided instant access to the dining room kitchen and bathroom.

OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
The housekeeping lines are designed in a compact and organized manner, which allows the residents to live functionally and efficiently.

PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION:
It was constructed in June 2022 in Bizen City, located in Okayama Prefecture Japan.

FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY:
Architecture, Building and Structure Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY:
To ensure the building's strength wasn't compromised, special care was taken while cutting the first floor at an angle from two directions. Additionally, reinforcing wood was incorporated into the design to ensure the coexistence of both design and strength. This is particularly important in Japan, where earthquakes are frequent and buildings must be designed to withstand seismic activity.

SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES:
Site area 198.61 square metre Total floor area 100.74 square metre Structure Wooden

TAGS:
house, cheese, japan, Architecture, nature

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
Creating color schemes that blend well with natural surroundings and ensuring privacy from the surrounding areas.

CHALLENGE:
Due to budget constraints, siding was used in areas not visible to the public instead of finishing all exterior walls with mortar. Designing structures to withstand frequent large earthquakes in Japan is a major challenge.
