Mk house 2011

Residential

A home that quietly weaves relationships between inside and outside, and between the individual and the family.

A residence for a family of six, located on a site bordered by heavily trafficked roads to the south and east.
Walls are placed to receive views and noise from the surroundings, while flower-block screens to the north and south, together with gardens and buffer spaces, gently filter glare, dust, and heat, allowing light, air, and the presence of the outside to be quietly drawn into the interior.

The room for the mother requiring care is positioned on the southern side, where the environment is most favorable, and is connected in a direct line to the parking area and service spaces. This arrangement not only reduces the daily burden of care, but also allows the presence of family members to naturally overlap.

Within a compact volume of 33 tsubo, seven private rooms and generous storage are carefully integrated, enabling caregiving, household activities, and child-rearing to coexist without strain.

While accommodating diverse ways of living, the house quietly weaves relationships between inside and outside, and between the individual and the family.
