透過「雙外牆」連結環境與身心

「反省式思維」在創新的專案當中相當重要。本案位於日本一個典型的現代住宅區內。在觀察過這個平價住宅區之後，發現環境、房屋與身心完全沒有連結，因此「創造原本遭到遺忘的環境與身心連結」，就成為了這個創新專案的概念。

業主的要求為「翻新並且運用原本老屋的回憶」，「提供兩個併排的停車位」，以及「不需要大片窗戶」。在調查後發現了令人意外的結果，就是房屋本身仍堪使用，只不過房產本身的經濟價值已大幅貶值。

因此，業主就出現了房屋應該翻修的念頭。此外，因為客戶想要有兩個併排的車位，房屋座落的位置就成為了問題，因此我決定要將原有的房屋從中切開，將其中一半轉九十度，改變配置形式以增加車位。

隱私也是重要的問題。這個住宅區似乎是為了因應嬰兒潮世代的需求而進行的小規模開發，沒有將市容與周遭房屋的隱私納入考量，因此原有的住宅無法有效利用外部環境。在房屋與停車場之間，加上了四十五公分寬的「雙外牆」，能夠發揮調整環境的作用，即使是封閉式的房屋，也能打開身體的感知。

Connecting the environment and the body by “Double Skin”

“Reflective thinking” is important in a renovation project. This site is located in a contemporary standard residential area in Japan. This residential area was created very economically. There was no connection between the environment, house, and the body. Therefore “Creating a forgotten connection between the environment and the body” becomes the concept of this renovation project.

The client requests to renovate and use “a house with memories”. They required two parking lots in parallel with no need of large windows. Surprisingly the existing building was still functional despite the depreciated economic value of the property.

Therefore, it became an idea that the building should be renovated. Due to the footprint of the building and the client request for two parking lots in parallel, I decided to create the parking by cutting the existing building in the middle and rotating one of the ridges 90 degrees.

Privacy is also a major issue. It seems that this residential area, which was developed on a small scale in line with the housing needs of the baby boomers, did not take into consideration of the cityscape and the privacy with the surrounding houses. Therefore, the existing building has not been able to effectively take in the external environment. A “Double Skin” was added to the 45cm space between the parking lot and the house. It has become an environmental adjustment device for the body. This allows the house to open our bodily senses even though the windows are closed.
