DESIGN BEHIND THE HOUSEDESIGN BEHIND THE HOUSEThe house appears as a white closed cube as it is located in one of the corners of the site. The door is fused with the wall, the door-mat and a small cantilever being the only signs of its presence. Furthermore, instead of conventional windows, a few flat, square cuts are made on the exterior walls, without any seeming order. The logic comes from the inside. Refusing to create stereotyped rooms with a collection of arranged furniture, Kazuyo Sejima proposed to reduce each room to particular furniture or anaction. For instance, the bedroom of the children is composed of one room-bed and a room-table. In that way, 17 different rooms were created, which together were arranged on a 77.68 m2 floor area and distributed on two floors with the tearoom on the roof.SAVING SPACESAVING SPACE Having such a small surface, it was used to its maximum. The structure of the house is built with steel sheets, which reduces the thickness of the external walls to 50 mm and the interior walls to 16 mm. In that way, the structure, walls and the floors merge together and each part appears to have the same weight.CIRCULATIONCIRCULATION Interpreting the idea of ‘a one room studio’, the architect connected the individual rooms. She made cuts in the inter-nal walls of the adjoining rooms, and left them without any glass. This offered new possibilities. Some rooms look outside through another room’s window. The air flows freely through these openings from room to room, and the boy or his cat can enter or exit through these openings at will. No space is shut off completely. Consequently, offering such a choice of different actions, the idea of privacy turns elastic. The members of the family can choose their place according to their moods, wanting to be alone or with others.INSULATION AND AIR CONDITIONINGINSULATION AND AIR CONDITIONING minimum of insulation. exterior is coated with reflective paint, so summer heat can only get in through sealed portals, but there’s no stopping radiation,so in the end we put in insulation. In Europe they typically use a thickness of 100 millimetres, but in this house there’s no more than 30. Sheet metal cools very quickly, so the insulation prevents the coolness from passing through. We used very few air-conditioning units. There are ducts that go to the very highest point, which serve to return warm air to the bottom and circulate it throug out. There’s good airflow overall through the rooms.

DOUBLE GLAZING WINDOWSDOUBLE GLAZING WINDOWS

Double glazing can reduce heat lost through windows by as much as 50%, thereby reducing your heating bills, keeping your house warmer and helping you do your bit in the conservation of natural resourc-es. Especially in rooms with large windows, the difference in temperature in the room is easily noticeable. Sitting by a large, double-glazed picture window is far, far more comfortable on a chill winter night.

Aerogel (also called ‘frozen smoke’ because of its hazy blue appearance), is a truly remarkable material. It is the lightest and lowest-density solid known to exist, and holds an unbelievable 15 entries in the Guinness Book of World Records, including best insulator and lowest density solid. Aerogel is composed of 99.8% air and is chemically similar to ordinary glass. Being the world’s lightest known solid, it weighs only three times that of air.

1. CAR PARK/TEA HOUSE The carpark is situated on the opposite side of the land. The reason is to encourage the use of bicyles and public transport conveniently located within the area rather than using a car. The carpark is also tucked away under a ramp leading to its roof. Inspired by traditional Japanese architecture, the additional space created on the roof will house a little pavilion in relation to its surrounding gardens and water feature.

2. VEGETATION: The carefully manicured Japenese gardens not only beautifies the site, it is also designed to improve the environmantal qualities on site. The strategically placed trees will provide shade to the house, allowing winter and summer energy gain/loss.

3. POND: The pond was added as a quality to our Japanese inspired landscape, bringing a serene quality to the site. In addition to that, the pond plays a major role in cooling the site during summer via evaporation. A simple yet effective method of controlling the temperature of the surrounding context.

NULLABOR TIMBERNULLABOR TIMBER Recycled TimberRecycled TimberNullarbor will continue to search for and acquire as many recycled timbers that Australian demolition sites offer. We will demand careful salvage of these products to maximize the potential for re-processing and will encourage and educate the demolition industry to understand the negative impact on outdated, destructive demolition practices. Nullarbor asks potential clients to consider a recycled alternative wherever possible, keep-ing in mind flexibility of species and sizes. We will assist consumers to avoid ‘size specific’ and ‘species specific’ criteria to maximise the ‘recy-cled timber’ options and limit the energy required for re-processing along with limiting any waste product. Nullarbor is directly responsible for the salvage of several thousand cubic meters of Recycled Native Timbers. Put simply - many of the timbers are virtually impossible to find elsewhere!
