In a residential area of Osaka City, architects designed a compact, yet unique home for a family of five on a challenging flagpole lot. The project utilized the 3-meter-wide pole section, allowing for creative spatial arrangements. Due to surrounding buildings limiting views, a skylight was introduced to enhance natural light within the home. The design mimics natural terrain, incorporating varying floor levels and creating multiple cozy areas. The aim was to disrupt conventional housing concepts, enabling the family to discover unexpected spaces within their new home.
Taking advantage of the 3-meter-wide pole portion, we sought a plan where a part of the house would encroach on the pole section.
We envisioned the plan as a gradual stacking of natural terrain, which gives a feeling of being outside inside the house.
The site is surrounded by buildings on all four sides, making it difficult to have any view from the windows in the exterior walls.
We hope that this space-making process will provide the family with the pleasure of finding unexpected places to stay from now on.
