Satoshi Fujinaka Shade House
Shade House is Bronze Design Award winner in 2023 - 2024 Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award Category.
Shade House

Open your mind to the ever-changing, ephemeral, yet intense beauty that nature creates. Therefore, a large and small wall was built on the neighbor's side to block the pressure from the neighbor's house, and the wall was bent down to form a roof to create a space for living under it. The sequence leading from the front road to the interior gives a sense of connection with nature,The mass and brightness of the dining and living rooms were adjusted so that the contraction and expansion of the space would naturally draw the viewer's attention to the sky between the two roofs.

In thinking about architecture, I always consider the relationship between "architecture", "nature", and "people". People are light, wind, sky, water, trees ・・・・ somewhat unconsciously,I believe that we feel richness in our relationship with nature. For example, a view of the ocean or a river stretching out before us,The sunlight spilling through the trees in a forest,Or the bright blue sky and clouds when you look up at the sky, People unconsciously feel healed, reassured, and happy, We have tried to fuse such a relationship between people and nature with architecture,The architecture is designed to allow people to feel the presence of nature, which is always close at hand, with all of their senses,I hope to create an architecture that will move people's hearts and minds.

He is always thinking about the relationship between "architecture," "nature," and "people." Light, wind, sky, water, trees... People somehow unconsciously feel richness in their relationship with nature. The fleeting yet intense beauty of the ever-changing ephemeral scenes created by nature is mesmerizing. When one suddenly looks up at the sky, blue skies and clouds subconsciously heal people, make them feel safe, and make them happy. He hopes to fuse the relationship between people and nature with architecture to create an architecture that will move people's hearts and allow them to feel nature, which is always close at hand, with all their senses.
