In the center of the village of Boudry, the project settles on a narrow plot, surrounded with collective housing, a church and an old mansion. In this motley context and its limited openings, the villa seeks to favor the inhabitants intimacy. Turning its back to the public space, it is widely opened on the park and benefits from the natural green environment. It stretches over three levels to be able to appreciate a few perspectives thanks to the height.

Shima Kitchen was a renovation project to create a venue for arts, and dinning from an old vacant house in a village on Teshima. Teshima is a rural island in the Seto Inland Sea of Western Japan, just next to the famous art tourism island of Naoshima.

Around this old house were vacant lands where several other buildings had been demolished a long time ago. An old warehouse, two persimmon trees,and many smaller fig trees remained. We changed the house into an open style kitchen, refitted the warehouse as an art gallery, and extended a sunshade awning around the trees to create an outdoor theatre. The theatre was based on a traditional NOH style theater, with its stage(butai), veranda (hashikake), and gallery (sajiki), but was designed toadapt to various kinds of event programs such as live music, modern performance art, folk dance, and community festivals.

The house is located in the hottest area in Japan during summer. There is humid and high temperature. And temperature may exceed 40 degrees. Because of that, almost houses have an air conditioner. However, since the client doesn’t like cold winds from air conditioners, he wants to the comfortable house without an air conditioner. In the beginning, to make air easily flowing, we put boxes like tunnel to divide yard into south and north.

Here are renderings and construction shots of a residential project in the Pacific Palisades to be completed late Spring 2012.

Located in the hills of Pacific Palisades, the design for this house was derived by stacking and slicing volumes, thus creating distinctions between programmatic elements and glazed openings. The design, however, was required to maintain the same footprint and height envelope of the previous building. In order to meet this constraint, the 4-bedroom house was buried partially below grade with the first and second floors appearing as separate stacked volumes. The design incorporates stone cladding on the lower floor, creating the appearance of a sturdy plinth, which supports a more delicately sculpted upper floor. Faceted white walls with slit openings help define the outer edges of the building, creating a distinctive facade.
