来自事务所的描述：U住宅位于东京郊区千叶县的住宅区。该住宅包括三个体量：不对称的住宅和两个混凝土盒子体块。镀锌钢板包面的木结构住宅坐落在仿佛从地面生长起来的扩展的混凝土基础的顶部。
From the architect. U House is located in a residential area in Chiba prefecture, just at the outskirt of Tokyo. The house contains 3 volumes; Asymmetric house and two concrete boxes. Galvanized steel cladded timber structured house sits on top of extended concrete foundation grew from the ground.
The house sways its roof away from the neighboring building in order to provide more daylight to the narrow garden below. Asymmetric form of the house is reflected inside as a double height living and dining space.
We believe this formal “imperfection” gives softer spatial experiences that can be also seen in Japanese traditional houses.Study room, kitchen, guest shower room are arranged on the 1st floor seamlessly connected from living & dining room. Guest room on 2nd floor is like an attic under triangular roof with punched balcony.
On the ground floor ensuite master bedroom faces the private garden and its low windows are designed to enjoy the view out from a seating height. Entrance hall, serves as a guest reception, is an interstitial space between the 2 concrete boxes that has a texture of 40mm wide timber formwork imprint continuing from exterior wall. Combination of soft/hard materials and various spatial proportions creates richness for the owner to enjoy every and each living place throughout the seasons.
