This house name is The Mountains and Opening house. It is a design room for a Japanese sneaker brand, “Dragon Beard”, as well as a residential house. Designed by Japanese studio EASTERN Design Office, this 3,895 square foot estate is located in Takarazuka, Hyogo, Japan and was completed in 2009. The site is in Takarazuka-city of Hyogo Prefecture. It is located in an exclusive residential district that commands an entire view of the Osaka Plain. The architecture is built on the slope of a hill with an elevation of 330 meters. The level difference of the site is 8 meters. Taking advantage of the slope, one of the characteristics of this site, an architecture which suits the desires of two persons is built. A. To be underground in the warmth of the earth. B. To fly like a bird. A. To be warmed up. A lower floor, a house, invisible in a mountain. The site has an 8 meter difference in height. 8 meters is higher than a two-story building. The lower floor is in the ground of the slanted site. It is invisible from the upper road. Built on “a new topography-mountain”, all parts of the building are close to the earth. The mountains are designed to emphasize the slope. Architecture is not built on a site where the slope is flattened. By contrary the angle of the slope is increased, which results in two mounds. Between these two mounds a living space is built, and the upper story floating on these two mounds is a design room. B. Flying. An upper floor, a design room Observe the Gulf of Osaka, high-rise buildings, Kobe port, Kansai Airport, Itami Airport, and shadowy blue mountains. The land originally slanted at an angle of 18 degrees. Mounds are built there to let the slope undulate. The plan is designed in L-shape. The edge protruding greatly from the slope is an opening that swallows the outside. Straight eaves run amidst the curvilinear forms of the topography. The eaves project in a powerful manner not to be beaten by the inherent force of the topography. They are thin, thick, short, long and carved. The Material of the Mountain The outside (exterior) mountain is formed into a mound by piling up soil excavated from the slope. The surface of the mound is a type of raw material made from crushed marble called “Kansui”. Glittering fragments of crushed marble on a whity surface shine brilliantly. There are two white mountains. The living quarters are inside the white mountain while atop the white mountainous wave is a deck. The Structure of the Deck The framework of the upper floor is steel and the lower floor is reinforced concrete. The upper floor evokes a sense of being on the deck of a boat and in order to achieve this feeling architectural columns and walls are designed as to make one unaware of their existence. Living Space + Opening + Mountain The lower floor fully utilizes the slope of the mountain. The hidden areas become mountains?while the areas that is required light become valleys. These rolling undulations are all part of the design. ============================================ Please other related video about home and interior design : Futuristic House Design with With Unique Geometric Appearance and Natural Landscape == https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dk2jiusvxIY Small Modern Home Design on a Really Small lot only 6 5m W x 27 5m L Site == https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrEWjnaM9II Contemporary House with Wooden Skin and Beautiful RIverside Landscape == https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuLKmOsCwxw ============================================== The admin of this channel is not the owner of the material inside the video.
