House O
A weekend house for a couple located on a rocky coast two hours drive from Tokyo. They are planning to settle down this place in the future. The site is a rocky stretch facing the Pacific Ocean with approaches sloping down to the water level. The characteristic of its plan, imagined like the branches of a tree, is a continuous one room. All the required spaces, entrance, living area, dining area, kitchen, bed room, Japanese style room, study room and bath room are arranged in this continuous one room. "House with feeling of ocean nearby" is the request from the client. Responding this image, I thought of creating "various ocean". Panoramic view of the ocean, ocean looking from recesses of a cave, enclosed ocean and a place like projected above the ocean. Oriented in different directions, one can find various views of the ocean walking throughout the house. Living area, bedroom and bathroom each has its unique relation to the ocean. One could say the house is akin to a walking trail along a coast, one could happen by a panoramic view, sometimes feel the ocean at the back or find the ocean through a small gap.
