AWARD; Copper Roof Architecture Competition: A Prize Winner
SPACE CONSTITUTION
The spaces of this project are constituted with a living room named "Tsudoinoma" in the center of the building, bedrooms, a guest room and kitchens on both sides of the building, and an entrance hall and a main dining room for visitors on the same axis as that of the "Tsudoinoma". The "Tsudoinoma" has an area of 20 tatamimats and faces on the Kurose Dam. It is a beamless space which has a maximum ceiling height of 6m and enclosed by glass to take in the beautiful scenery. This space as a wooden structure was constructed with metal joint reinforcements and metal braces instead of traditional wood joints. This structural method enabled the curtain wall glass of the "Tsudoinoma" to have a just 10mm wind displacement tolerance and to make this space and shape possible.
