西坂部的房子是一个普通的房子,1984年为一个典型的日本郊区景观中的单身家庭建造,没有统一的感觉。35年后,他们决定更新原来的房子,以适应新家庭的生活。这就是房子的扩建和改造项目。

The House in Nishisakabe is an ordinary house built in 1984 for a single family in a typical Japanese suburban landscape without a sense of unity. After 35 years, they decided to update the original house to fit to live with a new family. This is the project of the extension and renovation of the house.

为了赋予这个项目权力,我的兴趣在于如何利用隐藏在现有木质结构中的大量信息。项目的要点是在保持1984年原住房的整体性的同时,叠加2019年的新的分割层。

To empower the project, my interest was in how to utilize the amount of information which is hidden in the existing wooden structure. The point of the project is to overlay the new layer of segmentation of 2019, while maintaining the wholeness of the original housing of 1984.

房子被分割成三个体量,同时保留现有的木质框架。扩展部分是第四个体量。第四卷将地板提升到比屋顶瓦片高的位置。通过提升,它将与面墙的新兴住宅区的高度差不多。 在分段的体量之间,发生了暧昧的地方。换句话说,分割的技术本身就是使这个 “暧昧的地方 “出现的弓形线。

The house was segmented into three volumes while leaving the existing wood frame. The extension is the fourth volume. The fourth volume raised the floor to a position higher than the roof tile. By lifting, it will be about the same height as the emerging residential area on the facing wall. Between the segmented volumes, ambiguous places occurs. In other words, the technique of segmentation itself was the bow line to make this “ambiguous place” appear.

因此,这个设计的主题不是一个分段或框架,而是一个妥协。很多事情都发生在这个空间之间……根本无法命名。然而,也有一种感觉,那就是它是一个混乱的生命,我想接受这种动态的感觉。如果你命名这样的态度,它将是折衷的。在同一个房子里,1984年和2019年的时间分别流动,死者和生者生活在一起。 接受相互矛盾的情况。我想这就是生存的折衷主义。

So the theme of this design is not a segment or a framework but a compromise. A lot of things are happening in this between spaces… can not be named at all.However, there is also a feeling that it is a chaos of life, I want to accept the dynamic feeling. If you name such an attitude, it will be eclectic. In the same house, the time of 1984 and 2019 respectively flows, and the dead and the living live together. To accept situations that contradict each other. I think that is the eclecticism for survival.
