GAP-House

​

When a relationship with comfortable nature is created, people feel "luxury". Japanese architecture should have adjusted it in an ambiguous space of the intermediate region, kept a closer relationship between the body and nature. Intermediate region is surface space like Japanese veranda “engawa” that is wrapped outside as clothes , but because it is also a volume limited in downtown areas, we have tried to interleave them from horizontal and vertical direction to make nature close to the body. Because it is a plan based on conventional method of construction, for the first floor in the center, for the second floor just like chopping a space by providing a load-bearing wall, a “gap” is born, which has created a sequence of space. By traversing the "gap" momentarily each time whenever during moving, it becomes a proposed perception of subliminal new external environment, in other words, the external environment is stored in the subconscious as afterimage external.
