Maniera Architect & Associates

I plan to build in an uptown a little way from a sea located in the Takasago-shi south side. Sanyo-shinkansen passes through neighborhood right now, and a building is crowded with the environment.
That it was most characteristic in the client's request, "To use a gabion." A gabion is one of the methods of construction used by an usual relation of engineering works with a lot of things used in a bank protection work in a river. Over 3 plans we proposed and the plan for which a gabion was used most daringly were adoption. The plan which makes a gabion of width 5.5m and height 3.5m appear in a facade.
A view is given up by this plan and the world which produced in the interior is enjoyed maximally. When the approach direction is looked in from a road, a sharp peak looks acute-angled in more than 10 m destination. There is a front door. You can't peep at while traveling to there and the state inside the gabion. When a door is opened, it's being planted over strip stairs in the left side and a gabion is being seen. Next when I pass through an entrance of the height 1.5m and turn my eyes to the courtyard from a Japanese-style room, a small opening in a Japanese-style room and the wall of a stone where a living room is bright over FIX are seen. One in the room is suppressed darkly relatively and the tone is lost, and I have made sure that the courtyard including a gabion will stand out. When I leave for a courtyard and see the Japanese-style room side conversely, vivid red of a paulownia striped azalea is entering into an eye humbly from FIX of tectonic window via rather dark space.
It's a bold drastic plan seemingly by this plan. But I think the spatial experience felt at the place became real in something rather very comfortable with everything with poise as well as such impression.
