always in the sun, always in the shade
This is a house for old couple.
The flatly spread out site near the shore is exposed to the strict sun shine in summer and is faced the cold wind in winter.
In order to create the calm controlled interior space, it is very important to have passive strategy rather than to oppose against the severe environment.
As we know through the experience which we felt comfortable under the tarp at the camping, the roof is the most important factor for the housing.
By rethinking the roof as the facilities controlling the appropriate environment through the four seasons!
The roof of this house has been designed to settle the various problems.
・The southern slope to hang the photovoltaic power generation panel to receive enough sun light.
・The deep eaves protecting the veranda from the rain, gently connects interior space to garden.
・The dedicated height of the eaves controls the sunlight through the changes of the four seasons.
・The condition of a roof sloping to the one side enables to drain off rain.
・The single big roof like a wing of the airplane dodging the blow
As the result of above, the interior space is always under the sun during winter, and the interior space is always in the shade during summer.
