| DESIGN NAME: The Three Roof PRIMARY FUNCTION: House INSPIRATION: The traditional okinawan house uses long eaves to stave off the subtropical heat. But it blocks natural light and darkens the house. In order to solve this problem, the roof was divided into three parts and the house was brightened by taking in natural light from between the roofs. There is also Amahaji which provides a flexible space under the eaves. The space under the eaves is called “Amahaji” in Okinawa. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: By dividing the roof into three parts, It ensured daylight from the north side and made it easier for air to pass through. The split roof secures the ceiling height suitable for each place and brings about change in the space. It has a 4.0 meters space under the eaves in a pillarless space, but it keeps the height of the eaves low. Therefore, it is possible to protect a comfortable space with good ventilation while suppressing the strong sunlight of Okinawa. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The purpose of this project was to make good use of the climate of Okinawa and provide comfortable living. There are many good hints in traditional architecture. Also it has construction techniques unique to the subtropical region so we have evolved them with modern construction technology to provide a more livable living space. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: Okinawa Japan. The basic design started in March 2019. Completion date is December 2021. The site is bordered by three roads and is elongated east west. The site is characterized by apartments and commercial facilities in the north, and a spacious landscape in the south. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Architecture, Building and Structure Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Both X and Y directions of this building are planned with wall type reinforced concrete construction, and steel pipe posts are arranged at places requiring consideration for landscape. Because of the mixed structure, earthquake resistant walls are arranged without bias, and column heads and column legs of steel pipes are embedded to evaluate spring rigidity. As the cantilever span has a maximum of 5.0 m, the roof is uniformly planned with an extremely thick mat slab of 450 mm. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Site area : 753.04 m2 Building area : 318.00 m2 Total floor area : 285.93 m2 Structure : Reinforced Concrete Structure Main external finishes Roof : concrete Exterior wall : exposed concrete Main internal finishes Floor : Walnut flooring Inside Wall : exposed concrete Ceiling : Western red cedar & exposed concrete TAGS: Architecture, Single houses, Flexible space, Roof, Japan, Okinawa, RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Amahaji* is characterized by protection from the strong sunlight of Okinawa. It can be used for a variety of purposes, such as communicating with visitors, or sitting and looking outside. In addition, there is no wall between Amahaji and inside, and it is partitioned by fittings. In this project, the space is more than doubled compared to the traditional one. CHALLENGE: In this area at least one third of the roof must be slope. The plan is based on a pitched roof from the traditional Okinawan house. The split roof allows natural light where not blocked by structures such as pillars and walls. It also maintains its own structure, and the roof looks like it’s floating.

NAME: Ader Co.,Ltd PROFILE: Company name ADeR stands for Annettai Design Room. Building architecture cannot be considered separately from the natural environment. "With the intention of putting our feet on the ground and doing design activities, we decided to include the word ""subtropical,"" which is the climate of the place where we work." We believe that the act of designing is not just to create clutter, but to create various relationships.For example, in order to prevent a single tree on a blank sheet from creating a landscape, I would like to create an architecture that is not separated from the memories of life, natural environment, people, culture and land. |
