Airhouse has designed a two-family wooden house in Okazaki, Japan, emphasizing a unique expansive eave that accommodates parking and promotes community interactions. The structure resolves the challenge of limited front road access by pushing the build back, providing an uncovered gathering place. Internally, the house combines serene aesthetics with practicality, utilizing light wells for illumination and a warm color palette with tamogami wood and shoji screens. This design thoughtfully merges private living spaces with communal elements, enhancing the residents' quality of life while fostering neighborhood ties.
Airhouse's design features a spacious eave structure that serves as covered parking and a semi-public gathering space, fostering community connections in a dense urban setting.
The innovative design prioritizes not only functionality, with room for four vehicles but also enhances communal interaction, proving that modern architecture can support traditional social values.
