Japanese architecture by TSC Architects shows us another face of modern Japanese house architecture. The building was designed as a final residence in Hinomiya, Japan, in 2009. The house has two floors: the lower floor contains the living area, while the upper floor holds the sleeping area. The building has a simple, clean design with careful use of materials and color.
Magical lighting in the Japanese house
The architecture of the Japanese house remains true to modern Japanese design and focuses on the relationship between nature and the building. The basic idea is to create a complete picture of the natural environment, inside and out. Wood is the main material, but it is treated in different ways to achieve different effects. This material appears throughout the interior and exterior, showing different aspects of the whole Japanese house architecture. The facade is designed in natural wood with gray paint, connecting it to the street and sidewalk. The windows and doors use warm, high-quality wood, which softens the overall image of the building. Wood appears throughout the home and matches the existing trees around the building, integrating them into the design. In this way, the transition of life is expressed through organic elements combined with once-organic materials. This method is often used in Japanese house architecture.
Japanese architecture and the surrounding area – entry
Japanese design pays close attention to detail and lighting. In this house by TSC Architects, the rooms are carefully and deliberately arranged. Large openings allow natural light to flood the floors, help the house breathe and frame selected views. This is another method of Japanese house architecture : capturing a specific part of the view as part of the building.
