با این پست یانون دیزاین قرار داره به تمام مفهوم خونه رو در ذهن طراحانه شما متزلزل کنه و شما رو به بازتعریف مفهوم خانه پیش خودتون دعوت کنه! :)‌

سخت این طرح خونه توی ژاپن شبیه به برخی گونه‌های خونه های روستایی خودمون.

عرصه‌های فضای جمعی و فردی و بیرونی و درونی به گونه‌ای با هم آمیخته شدند که خیلی نمی شه تفکیک‌شون کرد.

اصلا فکر زندگی تو چنین خونه‌ای به خاطرتون خطور می کنه!!؟

japanese architecture practice ON design partners has sent us images of 'yokohama apartment',
a two-storey residential complex for young artists in kanagawa, japan. located in an area populated
with wooden houses and narrow roads, the design elevates the living units to sit above a semi public
courtyard which serves as a multifunctional place for exhibitions, work, and socializing.

conceived as the main communal space, the courtyard is loosely defined by four, triangular volumes
that pinwheel around the center. an outdoor kitchen complete with a sink and stove allows the inhabitants
to congregate in this area for a variety of functions. a washroom and storage closets are accommodated
at the ground level of the four pillars, ensuring efficient organization of the second storey. access to
the elevated living space above is gained by a series of exterior staircases that wrap around the courtyard.
the landings serve as small outdoor terraces that provide visual connection to both the street and
communal area below.

the hovering living spaces are divided as four 'huts', each with a private bathroom and kitchenette.
the make-up and organization of these units maximizes on the individual's privacy. a strip of outdoor
space lines half the perimeter of the floor to provide additional terraces for the inhabitants.
while the courtyard is exceptionally open to the street, the house as a whole maintains its privacy
through careful negotiation of space.
