About House in Akashi Abitazione
House in Akashi è un'abitazione su un unico livello, progettata per avvicinare la vita quotidiana alla natura. La casa è suddivisa in tre zone, definite in base alla funzione e al grado di privacy, e ciascuna zona possiede il proprio giardino e il proprio concept. Gli spazi dedicati alla vita familiare, alla coltivazione e al godimento della natura sono modellati sugli interessi del committente. Gli ambienti comuni sono ampi, mentre le stanze private sono contenute, così da favorire un'atmosfera conviviale. Le corti interne chiuse portano una luce naturale soffusa negli interni e sfumano il confine tra dentro e fuori. La struttura è interamente realizzata in legno, secondo il metodo costruttivo tradizionale giapponese.

- Production Technology
- Arbol have a deep understanding of the merits of various types of timber for different purposes; this allowed the design to be constructed entirely from wood with no sacrifice to the performance. The project is therefore extremely sustainable in its construction, offering a design which is in harmony with the nature it celebrates.
- Design Challenge
- The key challenge was to incorporate all the essential spaces within a small site area, on a single storey while still hosting elements which are essential to the house's artistic vision, such as courtyards and the surrounding walls for privacy.
- Inspiration
- The project is inspired by ideas of how the user is immersed within nature. The project is motivated by the pursuit of an environment that maximises communal space and harmonises wind, nature, sunlight, lifestyle and privacy. These elements are all contained within a structure influenced by the conventional method -zai rai kou hou- of traditional Japanese wooden construction.
- Project Duration
- The design started in April 2017, and construction lasted from January - July 2018. The house is located in Akashi city in Hyogo prefecture, Japan.
- Operation Flow
- The house is designed specifically around the client’s lifestyle and desire for an environment promoting tranquillity and deep comfort. Communal space is as large as possible while private rooms are as small as possible, encouraging a social atmosphere. Enclosing the gardens within the house allows for the intended vision to be realised regardless of the immediate surroundings, thus capturing the endless expanse of the outer world within a city dwelling.
