| DESIGN NAME: The House for Contemporary Art PRIMARY FUNCTION: Residence INSPIRATION: We designed this home for an art appreciator and amateur artist who wanted a house like an art museum. Planned with careful consideration for air circulation as well as for the harsh, snowy climate of the Japan Sea coast, the structure is composed of white boxes of varying scale that frame spaces like pictures. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: SEAMLESS SPATIAL COMPOSITION You can circulate through the spaces in this home looking at the owner’s collection of artwork just as if you were passing through galleries in a museum. RESPONSE TO THE ENVIRONMENT The first was dealing with the snow. In regions with heavy snow, the shape of the roof is very important. Many homes are built on the assumption that someone will shovel the snow off the roof, but that’s a lot of heavy work, and dangerous. We decided on a flat roof with no parapet that would stay relatively snow-free because of wind action. Our second thing was to create good airflow. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: You can circulate through the spaces in this home looking at the owner’s collection of artwork just as if you were passing through galleries in a museum. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: Fukui Prefecture, JAPAN FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Architecture, Building and Structure Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Reinforced Concrete 1 Story SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Site Area 246.48 sqm / Building Area 137.10 sqm / Total Floor Area 135.56 sqm TAGS: House like an Art Museum, Seamless Spatial Composition, Response to the Environment (Nature), Dealing with the Snow, Natural Ventilation RESEARCH ABSTRACT: It goes without saying that our top priority was fulfilling the client’s wishes. We began by measuring the many works of art that the client had created and collected over the years. Next, we held a number of planning meetings to discuss where to display each work of art, among other issues. For instance, we determined the height of the living room ceiling based on the wall size that could accommodate a painting measuring over 1.5 x 1 meter. In addition to the art collection, the client also has a large number of old records, mostly jazz. It was important for us to figure out a way to display them. CHALLENGE: To encourage natural ventilation, we created a temperature differential by designing two gardens, one on the south side that would warm up easily, and one on the north side that would remain cool. This is a traditional design method used in Kyoto townhouses.
