HOUSE IN EDA
Maximum In Minimum
HOUSE IN EDA was built on a small triangular lot in the outskirts of the Yokohama metropolitan area.
It is composed of two L-shaped volumes: the smaller mass houses the house's utilities and bedroom, while the larger mass contains the kitchen and dining area on its lower level, and a spacious living room on its upper level. The space is further enriched by a double-height ceiling for exceptional brightness and airyness.
The interlocked layout of the rooms are made possible by the timber structure. Exterior walls are sealed with a manually-spread ceramic compound that ornaments each surface with shine; interior walls are finished with a traditional Japanese opaque earthen plaster called tsuchikabe. Furthermore, the floors are finished with birch, marble, and granite according to their functions and aesthetic cohesion.
