*산위의 배, 쉽 하우스 [ Katsuhiro Miyamoto & Associates ] SHIP

구조프레임과 서피스의 절묘한 만남이 시작된다.
3미터 레벨 차이의 협소한 L 형태의 사이트.
좋지 않은 환경을 절묘한 역발상으로 풀어낸 건축가의 사이트 해석능력이
대단히 뛰어나 보인다. 도로와 접하는 대지레벨의 아웃도어 스페이스를 비워서
입구성 및 차량접근을 높였으며, 한 켜 위로 올라간
주거공간은 고저차가 있는 지형에서의 특징인 뷰를 확보하였다.
특히 대지의 엔딩포인트에 위치한 코어를 중심으로 밑으로 내려가면
거주자의 메인 퍼블릭공간을 계획하여 거주성 또한
만족시키는 계획을 하였다.
여기서 쉽하우스의 디자인 포인트인 코르텐스틸강(내후성강판)으로
쌓여져 있는 외피는 여기 하우스의 성격을 극명하게 보여주며,
건물을 다이나믹하게 띄워주는 구조적인
역활 또한 훌륭히 수행하고 있다.
이결과 마치 바다로 향해 출항준비를 하는 배의 모습이 눈앞에 아른거린다.
훌륭한 사이트 해석을 베이스로 재치있게 풀어낸
'캇슈히로 미야모토' 에게 한표 던진다.

Katsuhiro Miyamoto & Associates designed the SHIP house in Nishinomiya, Hyogo, Japan.
A residence built on a two-tiered site with a level difference of 3 meters. Because of the concern remained about the credibility of embankment and retaining wall built along the housing development, the foundation was laid on natural ground beneath the lower tier which was more reliable as the supporting stratum. The steel-made volume for public rooms floats over the retaining wall and above the upper tier for better view. Private rooms are arranged along the lower tier where the atmosphere is calm, at a distance from the front road, within a reinforced concrete structure which functions as a counterbalance to the overhanging volume.

An optimal use of curved surfaces designed in response to the site’s L-shaped plan was adopted in order to effectively support the large cantilevered volume. That is, instead of choosing a hierarchic structure of framework resistance system, a series of seamless structures of in-plane stress resistance system using steel sheets 12 mm thick made into panels with reinforcing ribs was set up to constitute a vessel-like steel shell structure. Although the first floor on the upper tier accommodates the entrance hall and one spare room, it mainly consists of voids –a sequence of external spaces that continue from the pilotis through the porch to the roof deck. The result is in fact much reminiscent of a ferryboat, in terms of both structure and layout, in which passenger decks and floating section are separated up and down with the vehicle decks in between.

Cor-ten steel used for the structure of this house’s first floor and up is entirely untreated on the surface and bare, expected to be covered with stable rust in the future. Contrastingly, the interior surfaces –floor, wall, ceiling- are finished uniformly white with elaborate thermal insulation. Combined with their curved forms, it is intended that a neutral space with a feeling of loss of depth is created.
