The Japanese architectural apply Sekkei-sha and projected this broad exclusive family residence on Hokkaido, the north-central Japanese island. The interior is uncommon for its village-like primal area the living space and kitchen – which looks to be enclosed by another residential mansion. Believing the low temperature climate in Hokkaido, it did not seem to be the most advantageous solvent to establish a wide open interior area as outdoors, yet, continuing the house shape on the outside. They attempted to see if we could design an area that would be indoor but would give a sensing of being ‘out of doors’ as a background within the building.
The applied term of making an open indoor area guided directly to the thought of making house-shaped indoor rooms. If these mansion shapes were scattered, it would contribute a village-like perspective.
The form of a house is a code for parting area indoors and outdoors, and a small town is a code that means outdoors. By using these codes, we believed that an interweaved scenery of indoor and outdoor would be made imaginable.
Eventually, we did to produce a interweaved scenery between ‘indoors’ and ‘outdoors’ by laying 6 house shaped profiles within one great exterior that enfolds the whole place.
One of the six house forms was built into an outdoor terrace. Indoors, there would be a village like perspective using the assist of the code for outdoors, inside the building. This rather control functions to smudge the definition of ‘indoors’ and ‘outdoors’, and this is where interweaving happens.
