nendo l 东京Stairway两户住宅-设计风向

Stairway House项目是东京一个安静的居民区的两户住宅，由nendo设计。随着其他住宅和公寓建筑在基地周围的挤压，建筑体量被推到北部，以通过南侧玻璃幕墙将日光，通风和院子的绿化带入生活环境。

Stairway House is a minimal home located in Tokyo, Japan, designed by nendo. The project is a two-family home in a quiet residential area of Tokyo. With other houses and apartment buildings pressing around the site, the architectural volume was pushed to the north to take in daylight, ventilation, and greenery of the yard into the living environment by a large glass front southern façade.

该布局使现有深受前几代人的喜爱的柿子树得以保存。考虑到上下楼梯的潜在困难，这对老夫妇的房间被安排在一楼。和这对老夫妇生活在一起的八只猫更自由地在室内和室外活动，并鼓励母亲更自由地享受她的园艺爱好。年轻的夫妇和他们的孩子住在2楼和3楼。

The layout plan made it possible to preserve the existing persimmon tree beloved by the previous generations. Considering the potential difficulties of going up and down the stairs, the rooms for the older couple were arranged on the 1st floor. The eight cats living with the older couple roam in and outdoors more freely, and encourages the mother to enjoy her hobby of gardening more freely. The younger couple and their child reside on the 2nd and 3rd floors.

为了避免两个家庭在顶部和底部完全分离，在南院设计了一个“楼梯状”结构，继续向上进入建筑，从1层到3层。“楼梯”内部是功能元素，如浴室和实际使用的楼梯，上部看起来像半室外的温室，有丰富的绿色植物，还有一个阳光普照的栖木，供猫享受攀爬的乐趣。

To avoid the two households being completely separated at the top and bottom, a “stairway-like” structure was designed in the south yard, continuing upward into the building and penetrating the 1st through 3rd floors. Enclosed inside the “stairway” are functional elements, such as bathrooms and a staircase for actual use, with the upper part taking on the look of a semi-outdoor greenhouse with abundant greenery as well as a sun-soaked perch for the cats to enjoy climbing.

因此，楼梯和绿色植物沿着对角线轻轻地连接上下楼层，创造了一个空间，三代人都可以在彼此的微妙存在中感到舒适。楼梯不仅将室内与庭院连接起来，还将一个家庭与另一个家庭联系在一起，这种结构的目的是进一步扩展，连接周围环境和城市——连接底层向南延伸的道路，并通过顶部的天窗向外延伸。

And so, a stairway and greenery gently connected the upper and lower floors along a diagonal line, creating a space where all three generations could take comfort in each other’s subtle presence. Not only does the stairway connect the interior to the yard, or bond one household to another, this structure aims to expand further out to join the environs and the city —connecting the road that extends southward on the ground level, and out into skylight through the toplight.
