Description:

This is a remodel undertaking of single-family house, initially utilized as a common two-story flat with eight little rental units in the rural territory of Tokyo, Japan. More than half of the units of this old wooden loft were unfilled, along these lines the proprietor needed to destroy it and after that manufacture another single-family house (folks and two young ladies) toward the starting. Be that as it may, I proposed to redesign this current building into a solitary family house as opposed to obliterating it, on the grounds that with their financial plan I thought the customers could just pick up the half region of the current building on the off chance that they assembled another one, which does not advantage them.

Termination in Japan began 10 years back. The quantity of householders diminished, as well. I would say hypothetically individuals can have more space in their living arrangements. The season of Japanese individuals living in little houses has changed. There is a movement from partitioning restricted space for some individuals into uniting existing isolated space for less individuals, I think. On the other hand, customers for the most part still tend to partition a house into numerous rooms. I picture the picture of another house, which is all around adjusted in the middle of isolating and uniting space inside. The demonstration of isolating coincides with the demonstration of uniting here. The outcome will be dynamic and complex inner space, which gives the experience of being every one of the spaces without losing the feeling of withdrawing into the one. In this task called ‘Flat’, my aspiration is to make high thickness and abundance of differing landscapes in this little building design.

I began with cutting an opening inside the condo to associate eight rooms. The current building has inflexible 3D framework, comprising of the dividers and floors, which deliberately separate the inward space into eight. I cut 2D shapes (triangle or quadrangle, not pentagon) out from this framework. Generally speaking, I chose these 2D shapes ought not take after the 3D lattice. For instance, one triangle shape was removed intersection the matrix between the first floor and the second, and put past the X and Y direction plane. Each of the eight rooms is on the 3D lattice, however 2D shapes are most certainly not. I utilized distinctive clear hues as “Four shading hypothesis” for each 2D shape, which is not taking after the matrix, to underscore the vicinity. As we remain inside, we can discover two distinct sorts of profundity ( =perspective perspective) in the same space.

The aftereffect of this procedure demonstrated some distinctive profundity of space, which helped me to remember a photo of Cubism, which has bending of viewpoint somewhere around 2D and 3D. We can see landscape, in which triangles and quadrangles assembled, covered and crossing one another, making assorted qualities of spaces into one spot.

Structural planning can’t escape from 3D network framework, and canvases additionally can’t escape from 2D then again. Ever, cubist discovered a rising profundity of space in their 2D artworks. Likewise, might building design find its developing profundity in the 3D space?
