「NJ Residence」は、海から吹き付ける強い風から室内を守るため、背面の外壁を緩やかな曲面としました。一方で、円形の一部を切り欠くことで、山々の景色や庭に向かって空間を開き、自然光を取り込んでいます。周囲の環境に丁寧に応えながら、寒冷な気候に適した外断熱工法を採用し、開放感と快適性を両立した住まいです。 NJ Residence was designed with a gently curved rear façade to protect the interior from strong winds blowing from the sea. In contrast, a portion of the circular composition is carved away to create openness toward the mountain landscape, natural light, and the garden. Responding carefully to the surrounding environment, the house balances openness and comfort while employing an external insulation system suited to the cold climate.
