Japanese Residence With Wood And Glass Geometry

The essence of Mount Fuji Architects Studio’s style and type function is observing the internet website closely and acquiring its hidden geometry. The architecture of this hillside property was also inspired by the geometry of the site. They produced what they get in touch with an architecture organized by the land. Which indicates, in their view, simplifying the design and fashion approach by essentially creating the frames and the roof and then taking inspiration from the landscape itself for the rest. In this situation, the land inspired them in creating a wooden grid that delimits and sustains the residence. This construction is visible in detail, and it functions both horizontally and vertically. It is composed of two sets of portal frames of about twelve meters extended, that mix in an angle that fits the slope of the land and sort a rack assembly with truss construction at the center. The thin construction is achieved by a cautious distribution of the force. The beams aid the roof and give it just sufficient pitch to deal with the climate conditions. The consequence is a relatively fragile hunting “mikado”, where you truly feel that by getting rid of a single stick the full construction would crumble. And but there is a great deal of power that comes from the symmetry of the wooden geometry.

The visual really worth of the wooden geometry of the home is enhances by the in depth use of glass for each facades and ceilings. From afar, a single particular might even consider that it is only the skeleton of the residence, and the rest is nevertheless to be constructed…

The vertical construction in laminated veneer lumber is organized as wooden racks, that form light partitions at the exact same time, delimiting a range of functions of the space.

Anytime achievable, the pieces of furnishings, like this desk, are developed from the rack framework. In this situation, the self is merely made deeper at the height of a creating table.

Except for the vertical rack structures there is not considerably furniture in the residence, and this “emptiness” provides wonderful depth to the space.

This image summarizes very effectively the parts utilized for constructing this residence: wood, glass, metal and concrete.

The beams support the roof producing sophisticated crossings and angles.
