Incorporating the beauty of the lattice
At the entrance of a Japanese-style house, I would like to design by incorporating designs. In this house, the sliding doors of the lattice decorate the space minimally. From the garden beside the entrance, you can see the inside through the lattice door, and the ground window where you can see the courtyard leads you to another adjacent space. At the entrance, where you can feel the expanse while being wrapped in the warm texture of wood, everyone who visits it may feel the comfort of forgetting the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Open in the atrium space
In the outdoor space with a wide field of view, the sky is high and you can feel an overwhelming sense of openness, but the high ceiling makes you feel relaxed. Then, how about creating a stairwell space in the entrance hall? At this house, the entrance made of dark wood on the white walls reminiscent of an old Western-style building is very impressive. The ceiling is high, and the space is open in each direction. Not only had the side of the entrance, but also the large windows on the second floor let in the light, which is very bright.
Practical with a wide dirt floor
In houses, there is a dirt floor at the entrance, and it is common to take off your shoes and go up there. In apartment houses, etc., the soil floor is kept to the minimum size required, but in old farmhouses, the soil floor served as a workplace that can be used without worrying about dirt. Even in modern life, there are benefits to having a large dirt floor. This house is used as a bicycle storage area, and it seems that maintenance work can be done here as well.
Double entrance
In densely populated areas, the entrance space may not be large because the site is adjacent to the road. Also, some people may want to devise something when considering privacy. In this house, the entrance is double-structured and a courtyard is created, so that the house is built without worrying about the eyes even though it is a densely populated area. This ← sliding door is the second entrance. There is a wooden deck around the trees in the courtyard, and it is a design that you can sit down and talk to.
