二心柱の浮き屋
Gable roof floating around two pillars




都内建つ木造とRCの混構造住宅である。敷地が閑静な住宅地で、周辺には塀で囲まれた屋敷が多い。私たちはこうした塀によって敷地を囲み、家を守るのではなく、異なる建ち方によって家と周辺環境との新たな関わり方を示したいと思った。

1階をRCの箱とし、その上に切妻型の木造を載せた。北と西に接道し、南と東に隣地境界持つ角地のため、1階部分は道路から奥まらせて道に沿った庭と駐車場を確保し、2階は隣家から適切に離れ取った。こうして上下階のボリュームがずれる佇まいとなり、軒下駐車場や屋根付きの玄関アプローチが1階に、南面する大きなテラスが2階に生まれた。敷地角寄りに設けた庭には、桜の大樹や四季折々の木々を植え、生き生きとした彩り豊かな風景を道ゆく人々と共有したいと考えた。

分節が明快な外観に対して、内部空間は1〜2階を貫通する2本の木柱を中心として展開する。1階をRCの壁で囲み、その中から木造を立ち上げて2階建てとした。中央の2本の柱は、1階では間仕切りや玄関の独立柱として住民を迎え入れ、2階ではリビング・ダイニング・キッチンを緩やかに分けながら繋げ、大屋根の棟木を力強く支える大黒柱のように屹立する。個室が集まる下階の私的な空間から、上階の家族の共有空間を、屋根裏まで伸びる鉄骨のらせん階段で繋いだ。間仕切りを受ける柱が、同断面の梁と交錯する伸びやかな架構の大空間へと変化し、連続的な上下運動の中に、柱を中心とした多様な体験が生まれることを目指した。

This is a hybrid structure house made of timber and RC built in Tokyo. The site is in a quiet residential area, with many houses surrounded by garden walls. Instead of enclosing the site with a fence or wall to protect the house, we considered a new way of relating the house to the surrounding environment by building it in a different way.

The first floor is an RC box, and a gable-shaped wooden structure is placed on top of it. As it is a corner lot with roads on the north and west and neighboring property boundaries on the south and east, the first floor is set back from the road to provide a garden and parking space along the road, and the second floor is appropriately separated from the neighboring houses. In this way, the volumes of the upper and lower floors were shifted, creating an under-eaves parking lot and a covered entrance approach on the first floor, and a large south-facing terrace on the second floor. In the garden near the corner of the site, we planted large cherry trees and other seasonal trees, hoping to share the vibrant and colorful scenery with people passing by.

In contrast to the clearly segmented exterior, the interior space revolves around two wooden pillars that penetrate the first and second floors. The first floor was surrounded by an RC wall, and a wooden structure was raised from within to create a two-story building. On the first floor, the two pillars in the center stand as partition or independent column at the entrance to welcome residents, and on the second floor, they gently divide and connect the living room, dining room, and kitchen, and rise like pillars that powerfully support the ridgepole of the large roof. A steel spiral staircase that extends to the attic connects the private space on the lower floor, where private rooms are gathered, to the common space for the family on the upper floor. The pillars that serve as partitions transform into a large space with an elongated frame that intersects with beams of the same cross-section, and the aim is to create a variety of experiences centered around the pillars through continuous vertical movement.
