両親2人、子供2人の4人家族のための小さな2階建ての木造住宅です。家族がそれぞれの趣味を持っており、お互い干渉し過ぎることなく、それぞれの時間を楽しめる住宅が要望されました。
敷地はJRの線路に面した狭い道路から小道を入った場所です。線路側から徐々に上る前面道路の勾配に合わせて、寝室を半層ずらしながらＬ字に配置しました。寝室の上に、くつろぐための低い場所、家族が集まって食事をする食堂、趣味のための作業スペースを階段に沿って離散的に積層させ、狭さを感じさせない広がりのある空間構成としています。その上に、ゆったりと白い布をかぶせるように、屋根を架けました。中央の柱で屋根をぐっと押し上げて棟を作り、そこから曲面を含む4枚の屋根を四周に向かって降ろすことで、屋根と床の距離感が常に変化する構成としています。
玄関から階段を登っていくと、徐々に空間が目の前に現れ、屋根との距離と人の動きによって外との距離感が変わることが認識される住宅となりました。切り取られた屋根の隙間に開けた窓から光が入り込んで曲面の屋根を横から照らし、時刻ごとに変化していく光の色を空間全体に拡散させます。設計を通じて布の下にできた空間に家族それぞれが自分にとっての居場所を見つけて，それぞれが思い思いに過ごすような生活を想像しました。

This is a small two-storey wooden house for a family of four - two parents and two children.The family members have their own hobbies and interests, and they wanted a house where they can enjoy their own time without interfering too much with each other.
The site is located on a small road off a narrow road facing the railway line.The bedrooms are arranged in an L-shape, staggered by half a storey to match the gradual rise in the gradient of the front road from the railway line side.Above the bedrooms, a low place for relaxing, a dining room where the family gathers for meals and a work space for hobbies are stacked along the staircase, creating an expansive spatial composition that does not feel cramped.The roof is placed on top of these spaces as if it were covered with a loose white fabric.The central pillar pushes the roof up to form a ridge, from which four roofs, including a curved one, are lowered towards the periphery, creating a composition in which the distance between the roof and the floor is constantly changing.
As you climb the stairs from the entrance, the space gradually appears in front of you, creating a house where the distance between the roof and the outside is perceived to change according to the distance between the roof and the movement of people.Light enters through windows opened in the gaps between the cut-out roofs, illuminating the curved roof from the side and diffusing the colour of the light, which changes from time to time, throughout the space.Through the design, I imagined a life in which each family member would find their own place in the space created under the fabric, and spend their time as they see fit.
