Tachikawa ANNEXDetails between House and Warehouse
Details between House and Warehouse - In contrast to the RC main house, the annex is designed as a light wooden building. The ground floor is used for a warehouse, while the upper is a second house. The exposed timber frame is composed of the lower structure with two-story posts, and the roof structure with timber struts which shift in angles and form HP surfaces. This annex, surrounded by the main house and detached houses, aims at presenting a new and unclassified townscape in the way it’s used, the scale, and how it emerges as architecture.
