I'm home

The H’s weekend house stands in Hayama where magnificent views and ample nature can be enjoyed. The architect Yosuke Inoue planned a spacious living room to enjoy the view on the 2nd floor, which has direct access to the road above the slope, the main bedroom on the 1.5 floor and the bathroom and children’s room on the 1st floor, which are all built along the slope. Utilizing the landscape where the levels connect at different angles in a L shape, a dining kitchen with depth and a living room open to the ocean were created. The 180-degree view where the ocean and Mt. Fuji can be enjoyed is more impressive because of this cadent space. Also, the 3.8m high gable roof ceiling creates an interesting polyhedron space by changing the height of the east-west wall. On the 1st floor, a spacious terrace connects to the 3.7m staircase hall. Since this terrace has access to the outside steps, an outdoor shower was created to take the sand off when coming back from the ocean, and has direct access to the bathroom. The bathroom projects from the other part of the building, and has a white granite bathtub that is in balance with its openness. The bathroom can also be opened as an outside bath to enjoy the ocean view. The cedar and concrete exterior blends very well with the ample green of the landscape preservation area. This second house has succeeded in not being too decorative, and at the same time has the attractiveness of being able to change beautifully over time, together with nature.
