The Engawa house offers a modern interpretation of the traditional architectural element of "engawa," featuring a narrow veranda or corridor along the building's edge. This design prioritizes the seamless integration of interior and exterior spaces, guiding attention towards carefully curated scenery with each step and turn, creates a harmonious living environment where inhabitants can fully appreciate the surrounding landscape.
In pursuit of a minimalist aesthetic, the Engawa House employs a combination of timber and precast concrete materials, large windows that not only provide access to the outdoor views but also create a sanctuary-like atmosphere within. This fusion of materials evokes a sense of Zen tranquility amidst the suburban setting.
The curated architectural cuts within the house volume serve practical functions, regulating temperature and airflow while providing natural ventilation and allowing sunlight to filter into the interior spaces, emphasizing the experiential connection with nature.
