建筑设计:Case-Real 这是由Case-Real设计的“蜗居”小屋,位于日本东京的一个高密度住宅区。该项目北部临五条街道的交汇处,其余三面与另外房屋相对。在如此窄小的困难情况下,客户希望自己的新房子可以面朝充满阳光的南面。因此建筑师将其设计为一间朝南的六角形建筑,这样的设计可以使阳光从黎明到黄昏能够持续照进客厅。 在这样窄小的空间内,设计师还专门为紧凑型轿车提供了停车空间,使其尽可能朝北,以便腾出朝南的方向使阳光进入。整个建筑分为两层,在二楼还设有一个六角形的观景平台,这里能够观赏城市景色。 译者:Stephen Jr. The site for this project was one of the 5 subdivided areas with the North side facing the street, and the other 3 sides neighboring the other houses. Within these difficult circumstances the client wished for a living room on the South side full of sun light. The core of this residential housing is the hexagon volume on the Southern side of the site. This shape resulted in a plan where sunlight continuously shines into the living room from dawn till dusk. Creating a minimum parking space needed for a compact car and by sliding the volume of the structure to the North as far as possible, we were able to keep a planting ground and to efficiently let light into the room. For the plan of each floor and its traffic lines, the roof and the beam which can be seen at the ceiling of the 2nd floor, the existence of this hexagon structure works as a strong elemement to chategorize the function, structure and design of the entire house.
