KAMAKURA HOUSE镰仓 HOUSE

FOR LIVING

Kamakura House is located on the top of the hill in Kamakura city.
The site has two views; one looking over the Pacific Ocean, and the other is the forest view.
This house is designed for an artist; she works here and live with her family.

The form of architecture is determined by a traditional timber frame structure.
All joints are crafted by Japanese traditional timber method. And it was avoided the metal joints as much as possible. We made all joints exposed, and achieved a high and spacious house.

We took such traditional approach, not only for the esthetic, but also for the earthquake proof structure. We wanted this house to be very integrated as simple as possible. Thus, we designed this house from a very integrated structure system.

There are a lot of modern technology available in our time. But we decided to take this approach, because we believe there is timelessness in tradition and “Tangible Space” can be achieved through such wisdom and tradition.
镰仓屋位于镰仓市中的山顶,视野内的两种景观相得益彰,一面是太平面的海景,一面是山中的森林。业主是以为艺术家,屋子既是她的工作室,也是她与家人生活的空间。
房屋采用传统的木质结构,建筑的形式贴合结构而设计。物种所有的结构连接点都采用传统的木结构工法,并尽可能避免金属接头的使用。连接结构外露,衬显屋内空间的额敞亮通透。
采用传统的工法,不仅是为了美观,也是出于抗震考虑。我们希望这个房子尽可能的简单,因此设计采用了非常集成的结构体系来组织空间。
在我们这个时代,有很多现代的建造技术。之所以采用木质结构与传统工法,是因为我们相信传统中有永恒。这种智慧能让我“以不变应万变”实现“最适宜的空间”。

The site's atmosphere was very appealing, it felt like a resort, that could house a cottage with a green forest as a view. The site directs us from the beginning how to bless such atmosphere and how the design should respond to those characteristics.
项目 的地点非常引人,就像森林里的小房子, 是一个很好的度假休息地方。从一开始, 美好的地理环境就引导着整个方案的设计 方向如何保育大自然和如何以建筑回应此 地点的特色。
