DESIGN NAME:
A2-house [shell house]
PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Residence
INSPIRATION:
Opposite to the exclusive feeling of the road side, you may enjoy open and bright space when you enter inside the A2-house [shell house]. I hope owners spend a pleasant time in the house by feeling the benefits of nature and changes of seasons, writes the architect.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
A2-house – which has another name “shell house” – was built in Fukuoka City. The site is located in an area crowded by residences and shops. North of the site is a busy industrial road. To satisfy the needs of the owner for a house that his family can live in safely, this design’s main concept is protecting the family from various neighboring environment of the site.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
I designed another smaller light court opposite to it and all rooms inside the house have a good quality of brightness and ventilation. I used a window that can protect privacy from outside on smaller light court so they can feel the seasons, changes of daytime, rain, wind etc. by themselves.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION:
Complete year 10,2013
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY:
Architecture, Building and Structure Design
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY:
To protect the privacy and mitigate traffic noise, I set no opening on outer wall of north side faced to the road. In addition, I pushed out a white wall diagonally on a road to emphasize the beautiful wooden wall and leave people a deep impression.

Structure: Wooden Parking Lot for Two cars, Main Room, 5 Bedrooms
Maximum Height: 7.526m

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
In daily life, people put themselves in a space somewhere. Home, school, work, public institution, commercial facility… In every space, what do people see, experience and feel? We base on people, harmonize every element, like function, things, environment to create a space and the style, and that is our job. We’d love to keep creating the space that makes your life joyful and pleasant, the space becomes more attractive and valuable by people who are enjoying it.
CHALLENGE:
House is retreated from the road in 2600 mm to plant trees in order to harmonize architecture and environment. When a car entries the house, it is needed to use remote-control to open overslide door. By this way, it enhances ability of crime prevention and owner can entry house safely from entrance.
