这座由apollo architects & associates设计的建筑位于一块仅有65平方米的超小用地中,被命名为“生长”,是为一对设计师夫妇在东京市中心设计的一处住宅。在一层的入口附近是驾驶座舱一样的办公室,沿着住宅东侧设置,通过一片玻璃窗格隔开,在视觉上使空间显得更开阔。当车库完全打开的时候,室内空间便与街道连通起来。车库的左右方角落有一个被白色石材包围的中庭,光线从上方漫射下来,照进相邻的主卧室,形成了宁静的氛围。螺旋楼梯从底层延续到阁楼,将人们带到二层,那里是很大的更衣室和业主三个孩子的卧室,通过帘子分隔空间。两个大门从浴室开向中庭,让人们享受放松身心的“室外”沐浴,享受阳光和新鲜的空气。三层是这个家庭的主要公共空间,包括厨房和起居室等。在侧墙和屋顶上都安装了天窗,由于城市的强制退线要求而采用了倾斜的形式,让这座狭小的建筑保持良好的采光通风。这些窗也提供了天空和市中心的景观,起居室中东侧和南侧的外墙设置了内嵌式的家具,外面覆以榻榻米。阳台从厨房处延伸出来,在这里业主可以自己种植花草,也可以在开放环境中准备食物,同时,屋顶花园也为业主在这片市中心区提供了额外的绿色空间。 situated on an extremely small plot measuring only 65 sqm, 'grow' by apollo architects & associates is a downtown tokyo residence conceived for a husband-and-wife designer couple.on the ground floor, a cockpit-like office at the entrance which runs along the east side of the home, neighbors the garage, separated by a single pane of glass which visually expands the narrow space. when the garage is open to its fullest extent, it creates a sense of unity between the street and interior. a small square white rock covered courtyard located at the back left corner of the garage fills with diffused light which floods down from the upper levels, projecting a sense of tranquility into the adjoining master bedroom.a staircase which spirals from the ground floor to the penthouse leads upwards to the second floor outfitted with a large changing room and sleeping quarters for the client's three children - this area is divided by a curtain. two large doors which open out over the courtyard from the bathroom allow one to enjoy a relaxing 'outdoor' bath complete with fresh air and sunlight. the third floor houses the dwelling's main communal areas such as the kitchen and living room. high skylights installed along the walls and the ceiling - which is sloped as a result of the setback limit imposed by the city - provide a lot of natural light into the home,making it feel open and airy despite its small area. these windows also offer panoramic views of the sky and downtown area with built-in furniture covered in tatami mats lining the south and east facing walls of the family room. a balcony extends from the kitchen where the residents are able to grow their own plants, allowing them to prepare food in an open environment, while a rooftop garden offers an additional green oasis for the owners in the middle of the city.
