A unique segmented layout defines this amazing Japanese home, belonging to a couple and their three children near downtown Shunan, Yamaguchi County. Designed by Hayato Komatsu Architects, the rooms of this unique home are sectioned into boxes around the edge of the site. Glass corridors tie up the volumes as they take on the green beauty of a large and serene central courtyard, as well as several smaller yards. The design was formed to realize all the wishes of the client without completely overriding the scale of the 807.03 square meter plot and the surrounding residential environment. The result is a space with a sense of unity and a deep connection with nature.
A steel enclosure door waits at the end of a short path that leads into the property, just off the main road. The modern door matches a frame of steel windows, which increases its scale and size.
The main main entrance door for guests is housed inside a wooden tin enclosure that extends to the roof line to increase its warm and text effect. The cool gray exterior of the home creates a tonal contrast that pushes the eye to the welcome entrance.
Glass roof panels let the blue sky into connecting corridors that connect each volume of the unique home design. Glass walls open the corridors to the courtyards, which bloom on both sides.
Once through the narrow glazed corridor, a huge living space opens up with towering ceilings. Huge windows bring natural light flooding over the rich wood tone and gray brick interior. Tailored bookshelves stack decoration up to the roof.
The two-story lounge puts a small, casual dining room into the lower half of the layout, while a luxurious lounge tops. A chic modern L-shaped sofa divides the upper floor between the living room layout and a formal dining room at the back.
A rectangular coffee table is located in the center of an understated gray carpet that balances the gray tile floor treatment in the tiny dining room.
A bistro pedestal table sets up the secondary dining room as a place for tea and light snacks.
Three steps down gives the area a pleasant, intimate feel that is enhanced by the presence of a wood burning fireplace.
Surrounding courtyard views bring nature rushing to the airy living space.
An outdoor seating seat lies in the welcome patio design. Free installation of wooden ceiling panels flows from inside the living room to the shaded overhang outside.
At night the courtyards light up to preserve the magical panorama.
The L-shaped volume pushes the kitchen layout just beyond the corner of the living room, giving it an unobstructed view of the luxurious courtyard.
A breakfast bar returns to the next connecting corridor from floor to ceiling glass. Three kitchen bar stools let the children contribute to dinner.
Wide expanses create the feeling of walking outside.
A stone walkway in the manner of a garden path was carried out inside the house, to rebalance an area where there are no exterior views.
In the main room, a thin floor-to-ceiling side window and a clerestory window ensure privacy. Furniture is minimal, with only a platform bed, bedside table, desk and IC F 2-style lamp. La original IC F 2 was projected by Michael Anastassiades for Flos.
Home library is secretly hidden.
The library also serves as a music appreciation room, with heaps of CDs and a sound system.
Shoji doors add traditional Japanese elegance.
The doors are pocketed in a deep wooden frame.
Even the bathroom overlooks a courtyard.
The courtyard next to the bathtub is elevated to improve the view.
Exposed wooden ceiling beams add a bold visual interest.
Authentic tatami mats dress the floor.
The material palette remains cooperative throughout the home.
Graceful shrubs soften the fort home exterior.
Wooden slat panels examine the connecting footpaths.
Rocky borders plume the paved driveway, leading to green shrubbery and trees that give only a slight taste of the natural bonds that surround the rest of the household.
Exterior lighting gently illuminates the plants and the welcoming front entrance door.
The secondary front door is gently obscured by small trees.
The central courtyard gives the segmented dwelling a general sense of unity.
Each yard differs in scale, sunlight and height, creating different experiences as one moves through the house.
The site of 807.03 square meters holds a building area of 444.59 square meters, resulting in a total floor area of 471.24 square meters. A parking garage holds up to four cars at the front of the building.
The final layout of the rooms was decided by imagining many everyday situations and likely future lifestyle changes.
