[ Suppose Design Office ] House in Nagoya

Japanese architects Suppose Design Office have completed a residence in Nagoya, Japan, featuring a room dedicated to plants.

The house, situated on a narrow plot surrounded by neighbouring houses, accommodates the client’s desire for a vibrant garden by including a landscaped “garden room” bordering the main living space.

The architects aimed to treat the rooms and garden in the same way.

Objects associated with interiors, such as paintings, appear in the garden areas while rock and flowerbeds overlap into the living spaces.

The designers hope that the constantly changing internal gardens will continually alter the appearance of the home.

House in Nagoya

This Nagoya home features rooms designed for plants.

This home is built on a small, narrow plot surrounded by other houses, making the location less than ideal.

Responding to the client’s desire to have a vibrant garden we suggested a design featuring a room for plants, a “garden room” in other words.

Essentially, in this home the garden, which usually exists in the so-called exterior, is incorporated into the interior as landscaping to surround the tenant’s living space.

It was our intention to treat rooms and gardens as equivalent, and make the relationship between inside and out closer, by creating a design featuring this garden-like room so that things normally decorating a room such as art, books, and furnishings would in a way almost be thrust into an exterior space.

Rather than a design that begins to grow stale as soon as it is completed, through this design featuring the constantly changing and vibrant “garden room” we hope that the tenants daily lives will be richer than before.

Using this design as a starting point, we hope that words such as garden and landscape that had only been used for exteriors can begin to take on new and varied meanings, bringing vibrant and beautiful scenery into the interior of homes as well, and make architectural aesthetics more and more diverse.

와... 멋지네요.

대충봐도 일본의 건물이 아닐수가 없는 sesitive, sharp, minimal, introvert...

디게 작아보이는데 사진에선 스케일이 꽤 있게 느껴집니다. 도면을 보고싶은 집이네요.

디진에 매달린 댓글들을 보면 재미있는 내용들이 많습니다.

대충 두가진데 하나는 자연을 indoor에 trap 해 놓는 것에 대한 것이고

나머지 하나는 실내 공간 구성에 대한 것이더군요.

자연을 예쁘게 다듬어서 마치 박제하듯 계산한 위치에 심어 넣는 방식은 나름 일본식 미니멀리즘이라고만 막연히 생각해 왔는데 하긴 거기에 대해 깊이 생각해 보진 않았네요. 식물들이 갖혀 있는 것 같은 느낌은 드는데 건물의 대지 조건상 일정한 면적을 만족하려면 사람들이 말하는 것 처럼 자유롭게 배어드는 내외부의 환경을 만들 수는 없어도 뭔가 더 변화가 있었다면 재미있었을 것 같네요.

두번째 실내 구성에 대한 것은...

밥먹는데 똥싸는거 다 보이고 소리 들리면 좀 그렇지 않을까여.. 하는 의견인데..

가족 구성원이 어떤지 몰라도 혼자 사는거 아니면 커튼이 있더라도 좀 찝찝하긴 할 듯...
