This is a house for a young couple and their child, located in Matsudo, Chiba Prefecture. Matsudo City has a background that has developed as a residential area on the outskirts of Tokyo since the 1960s.

This house was planned rebuilding of the house, which was built at that time. I seemed to have been asked to build a house as a new symbol in this place by a young family with the hope of the future.

 

Memory of project

So, I hoped to propose the house as a living symbol by utilizing a big roof and structural members actually in their daily life rather than just images.

At first, I placed a big roof on the site and arranged the eight Y-shaped wooden frames in it. I planned for each space by hanging second floors and loft floors from them. Like a bunch of attic beams of traditional wooden architecture, Y-shaped frames made of bonded wood run through the entire house. And the six floorboards are hung from them at different levels. Depending on the level and location of the floorboards, the distance from the big roof and other living spaces will be changed, and the space under the floorboards as well. Although the whole house is just one space under a big roof, it is divided loosely with Y-shaped frames and floorboards, so that people stay in each space feeling each other.

I hope that the family uses the structure of the house in their daily life and that the structure is related to their daily life. For example, people hang pictures and figures from Y-shaped frames and mark the height of the child along with his growth on it. And they will leave the trail of their life on the house like a well-thumbed book.
