The Wear House built for a young couple and two children. The blank and coming in succession were invented by making the best use of the vertical interval in the small hill, making “Enclosure” as the life scene place in the average of a dynamic flow that connected the earth to the sky, and dressing “Wear” the outside. These structures provide a correlation between inside and outside, assumes the strengthened plan, and has both the role to ease the thermal environment in the environment.
The first floor occupied by private room and the living space which held the view concurrently distributed to the second floor. It composed piling up the box of each life and forms the living “Enlosure”, and considering each glance while thinking about the opening. And, the design was advanced in the process of wrapping it in the person summary with “Wore”. The ideal way to which the piece or more helped by esteeming the individuality of each life, and bringing it together by another individuality was requested. The second floor becomes openhearted at a dash, and actually feels the existence of “Wear” while the first floor is a set of the box when entering an internal space. The scenery seen from the window can be intentionally experienced as turned over.
This buildings are two wooden stories. It aimed at individuality as the whole and the acquisition of strength by treating wooden by bundling, that is, “Enclosure” and “Wear” two this time, and treating the relation between them. The spreading wooden frame that consists of basic vertical and the horizontal brace is adopted, and “Enclosure” part has been passed by a minimum structure. On the other hand, “Wear” part becomes because it composes of the diagonal material the streak or exist, and strengthens “Enclosure” that becomes a life scene. It did not govern in the same respect to dare to clarify that each part joint part was different, and it was assumed the held settlement from the outside partially.
