House in residential area
The shape of scenery in residential area
The site is located in typical type of Japanese residential area. This project is a trial of modeling by analyzing scenery.
Japanese residential area has some regulations and rule. The limit of building coverage ratio and size of lot decide "dencity of town". The position of street decide "positioning of parking and garden". That is to say "the shape of scenery in residential area is made by rule".
Tracing to the shape of residential area
The client want to keep privacy and want to have sunshine. The house need to open and close. To solve both way, I tracing to the shape of neighboring house. An exterior wall completely close to neighboring house, but open to far scenery. People can feel wide space by connecting to far scenery directly. This is the same thinking way of "Borrowed scenery" in traditional Japanese Zen garden.
