nendo l 東京Stairway兩戶住宅-設計風向

Stairway House項目是東京一個安靜的居民區的兩戶住宅，由nendo設計。隨著其他住宅和公寓建築在基地周圍的擠壓，建築體量被推到北部，以通過南側玻璃幕牆將日光，通風和院子的綠化帶入生活環境。

Stairway House is a minimal home located in Tokyo, Japan, designed by nendo. The project is a two-family home in a quiet residential area of Tokyo. With other houses and apartment buildings pressing around the site, the architectural volume was pushed to the north to take in daylight, ventilation, and greenery of the yard into the living environment by a large glass front southern façade.

該布局使現有深受前幾代人的喜愛的柿子樹得以保存。考慮到上下樓梯的潛在困難，這對老夫婦的房間被安排在一樓。和這對老夫婦生活在一起的八隻貓更自由地在室內和室外活動，並鼓勵母親更自由地享受她的園藝愛好。年輕的夫婦和他們的孩子住在2樓和3樓。

The layout plan made it possible to preserve the existing persimmon tree beloved by the previous generations. Considering the potential difficulties of going up and down the stairs, the rooms for the older couple were arranged on the 1st floor. The eight cats living with the older couple roam in and outdoors more freely, and encourages the mother to enjoy her hobby of gardening more freely. The younger couple and their child reside on the 2nd and 3rd floors.

為了避免兩個家庭在頂部和底部完全分離，在南院設計了一個“樓梯狀”結構，繼續向上進入建築，從1層到3層。“樓梯”內部是功能元素，如浴室和實際使用的樓梯，上部看起來像半室外的溫室，有豐富的綠色植物，還有一個陽光普照的棲木，供貓享受攀爬的樂趣。

To avoid the two households being completely separated at the top and bottom, a “stairway-like” structure was designed in the south yard, continuing upward into the building and penetrating the 1st through 3rd floors. Enclosed inside the “stairway” are functional elements, such as bathrooms and a staircase for actual use, with the upper part taking on the look of a semi-outdoor greenhouse with abundant greenery as well as a sun-soaked perch for the cats to enjoy climbing.

因此，樓梯和綠色植物沿著對角線輕輕地連接上下樓層，創造了一個空間，三代人都可以在彼此的微妙存在中感到舒適。樓梯不僅將室內與庭院連接起來，還將一個家庭與另一個家庭聯係在一起，這種結構的目的是進一步擴展，連接周圍環境和城市——連接底層向南延伸的道路，並通過頂部的天窗向外延伸。

And so, a stairway and greenery gently connected the upper and lower floors along a diagonal line, creating a space where all three generations could take comfort in each other’s subtle presence. Not only does the stairway connect the interior to the yard, or bond one household to another, this structure aims to expand further out to join the environs and the city —connecting the road that extends southward on the ground level, and out into skylight through the toplight.
