We designed a house for a family of four on the Itoshima Peninsula, which has a beautiful coastline facing the Genkai Sea and the mountains of Mt. Sefuri. The large grounds for farming and poultry farming are located at the foot of a mountain, in a quiet location surrounded by nearby private houses and a gentle forest to the south, and some distance from the road.

Here, we are planning a home where we can live centered around food, where production (agriculture), use (cooking), and eating (meals) are connected.

First of all, we thought about creating a good environment for the fields and fruit trees. The fields that we wanted to receive the morning sun were placed on the east side, the fruit trees that we wanted to receive good ventilation and the afternoon sun were placed on the north side of the site, and the parking lot was placed along the approach road on the west side, so we could see the fields and fruit trees from the house.

The concept is a house where you live in the kitchen.

The traditional living room has been eliminated, and the kitchen extends into the Japanese-style room, library, and outdoor dining area. The Japanese-style room is raised slightly so that there are no walls, so you can relax and enjoy conversation with mom and dad while they cook. The small bookroom in the loft facing the atrium is a space where you can concentrate while still feeling a sense of presence. The dining table extends past the large opening to the adjacent outdoor dining area, inviting the act of eating and cooking outdoors.

The roof is sloping to allow rainwater to flow to three areas: the parking lot (west), the fruit trees (north), and the field (east), while enclosing the loft library. The shape of the roof appears on the ceiling of the atrium and pantry, giving you an idea of ​​what it will look like on a rainy day.

A house is also a tool for enjoying the life we ​​accumulate every day. We hope that your family will be able to live a relaxed life in this house while enjoying Itoshima's rich nature.
