「cozy」「 practical」 and「 long-lasting」
Coziness is also a thermal environment in which the mind is at ease and the body is relaxed. No
matter how cool the
house is, it is not cozy if it is hot and sweaty in the summer or cold in the winter, making
housework tedious.
Even if you don’t go out anywhere on your days off, it would be nice to have a house where you
can relax while looking
at the greenery in the garden, and where your mind and body can be healed.
To be practical means to be equipped with functions that suit the lives of the people who live
there.
For example, a small storage space in the living room where miscellaneous things can be
temporarily sheltered
if there are sudden
visitors. The space as a whole has a calm atmosphere that is not too bright, but there are
lights to illuminate your
hand when you read a book, cook, or work. I try to create many places where it would be
convenient.
Long-lasting means using natural materials that change over time as much as
possible. Wood, clay, Japanese paper, brass,
iron, etc., these materials develop their own flavor and atmosphere as they are used. In
reality, the floor gets
scratched and the walls get dirty, but to put it bluntly, that is the history of the family
living there. Thinking of it
this way makes us feel more attached to it. The beauty of natural materials is the way they
change over time.
The house we design is like this.
・Even without large windows on the south side of the house, the house will be able to feel
enough
sunlight.
・In the winter, the house will take in the sun’s rays and convert them into heating
energy.
・In summer, the greenery in the garden will gently shield the house from direct sunlight,
keeping the
house cool.
・The lighting plan is not too bright at night, so that the family can enjoy their time together
in a
relaxed.
・The house has many places to be, so that the family can feel the presence of each other.
・The temperature difference between rooms should be kept to a minimum to reduce the stress of
daily
life.
私たちが設計をする上で大切にしていることは
「居心地がよいこと」「実用的であること」「長持ちすること」です。
居心地がよいとは、心が落ち着くという雰囲気であったり、身体もリラックスできるという温熱的な環境でもあります。いくらカッコよくても、家の中で夏に暑くて汗がダラダラでたり、冬に寒くて家事がおっくうになるようでは居心地よいとは言えません。
休日にどこにも出かけなかったとしても、庭の緑を眺めながらゆったりとした時間が流れ心も身体も癒される、そんな家が良いなぁと思います。
実用的であるとは、そこに暮らす人の生活に合った機能を備えているということです。例えば、リビングにちょっとしたサイズの収納があり、急な来客があれば雑多な物を 一時避難させることができるとか。空間全体としては明る過ぎない落ち着いた雰囲気を出しながらも、本を読んだり、料理をしたり、作業する場所にはきちんと手元を照らす灯りがあるなど。そういった、あると便利だなぁという所をたくさん作るように心がけています。

私たちが設計する家はこんな家です。
・南面に大きな窓がとれなくても、太陽の光を十分に感じれる。
・冬場は太陽の光を取り込んで暖房エネルギーに変える。
・庭には緑を植えて、移りゆく季節を感じることができる。
・夏はその庭の緑で、直射日光をゆるやかに遮蔽し涼しく過ごすことができる。
・夜は明るすぎない照明計画で、家族の団らん時間をゆったりと楽しむことができる。
・家の中に居場所をたくさんつくって、家族の気配をゆるやかに感じれる。
・各部屋の温度差は少なくして生活のストレスを減らす。
