INVERTED HOUSE is the top prize winner in the 5 th LIXIL International Student Architectural Competition sponsored by the LIXIL JS Foundation, aimed to seek and review next-generation sustainable housing technology and communicating that technology to global society. The project was designed based on the theme: “House for Enjoying the Harsh Cold.” INVERTED HOUSE has floors of different heights and roofs of different slopes, which help control its environment, thereby allowing residents to embrace the cold and the beauty of seasonal changes. The two intersecting walls, which are the main structure, divide the house in four main rooms with specific architecture, where all life activities, including cooking, dining, taking a bath or sleeping, are performed outdoors and the rooms inside are made to allow them to seek shelter from the unexpected bad weather. The four spaces are made up of the “Garden Room,” which will gather snow in winter, the “Outside Living Room,” the main space of the house, the “Room for Cooking” protected from the strong winds with a very steep roof and the “Inside Room,” the most protected room against the external environment. The character of inside-outside spaces inverts with seasons. The warmest space in winter, the Inside Room, becomes the coolest shadowed space in summer. The outside spaces, harsh in winter, become the most pleasant ones in summer. With the completion of INVERTED HOUSE, Memu Meadows is currently a home to five houses designed by students. The effects of these “next-generation sustainable housing” will continue to be verified. –Reference Information– Architect: Kengo Kuma and Associates [Concept] Overview of Facility View source version on businesswire.com: http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20160210005634/en/ Contacts LIXIL JS Foundation |
