Agence Search Architecture Kengo Kuma and Associates | lucien pellat-finet Shinsaibashi New Canaan, Connecticut USA 2010.07 Private Residence 830 m2 This is a project in Connecticut (US) to repair a residence designed by Joe Black Leigh, and add a new house to the site. New Canaan is known as a town where many houses from the 1950s by such architects as Philip Johnson and Marcel Breuer still remain, and the one we worked on was the residence for Joe Black Leigh (built in 1956), also a friend of Philip Johnson. The existing building was a symmetric glass box of Palladian villa architecture, standing solitarily in a forest. As an attempt to make the architecture “intimate,” we adopted a type of mixed structure in the new house, where a wooden joisted roof comes over pillars of flat steel bars in 3 inches × 6 inches. We gave a major change also in the existing house, by getting rid of the symmetry and covering the exterior with wooden louvers, so that the architecture would gain more “intimacy”. アメリカ コネチカット州 ニューキャノン 2010.07 住宅 830 m2
JDS Architects Jean Christophe QUINTON House in Yamasaki with rooftop sheds by Tato Architects The top floor rooms of this house in Japan by Tato Architects are contained inside sheds that sit on the roof (+ slideshow). Located in a residential area in Hyogo Prefecture, the house was designed for a family with two children. "The residents requested that, as the area has short hours of sunlight in winter, they'd like to bring in as much light as possible," architect Yo Shimada of Tato Architects told Dezeen. To achieve this, the architect designed two of the rooftop sheds like greenhouses with translucent polycarbonate walls that let light through into the study room and bathroom contained inside, as well as down to the ground floor spaces below. A layer of translucent insulation prevents the bathroom walls becoming too transparent. "There is no problem because they are not clear enough to expose more than the silhouettes," explained Shimada. The third shed has opaque walls to create more privacy for a guest bedroom. Here's some more information from Yo Shimada: Overhead courtyard
