A Closer Look at the Weekend House in Kyotango
Located in Northern Kyoto, this house is a weekend house for surfer couples. From the site of this house, the sound of waves can be heard roaring each other, the sea can be reached only on foot along a small hill.
Hideo Arao Architects Office as the architect, arranged this house like a camp base with wood material typical of Japanese architecture with an interesting approach. If neighbors or people from outside see, this house is just like a short building that is not attractive, but when you go inside, you will be surprised by the arrangement of this building which is like a tower.
The selection of local materials with a harmonious color palette makes the visuals fun and calming according to its function as a retreat house. With its unique character, the wooden frame structure is an option to minimize the use of key structural materials. The use of concrete blocks into walls that are to envelop wooden structures and the use of glass between blocks into inner spaces that maximize function.
