敷地は大阪市内の住宅と工場が入り乱れる地域にあり、近くで工場を営む依頼主が自宅を建てる為に、建売用に販売されていた土地を２区画購入した土地である。凡そリゾートとは無縁の、又は対極の場所で、サーフィンやリゾート地が好きな依頼主が求めたのは、リゾート感覚な家。自分なりに、この「リゾート感覚」を心が安らぐ場と解釈し、工場と住宅が乱立する地域で、街に馴染みつつも住まい手が落ち着き、心の拠り所となる空間を提案することにした。そこで、以前からその場に建っていたかのような倉庫みたいな箱を作り、その中に住まう機能を層ごとに入れ込んでいくという作業を行った。家族構成は夫婦２人。要望に合わせて１階は社員や友人が集える多目的スペース。２階にはLDKで３階は寝室と水廻りという極めてシンプルな構成である。各層は、南側からの自然光を取り込む為に設けた吹抜け階段で繋がったおり、結果的に階段室を介して縦に繋がる大きなワンルーム空間が出来た。現在は建物西側が空き地となっているが、いずれ何かが建つことを考えると、前面道路側である北側を除く３方が密集しているため、東西に開口部はなく、自然光を取り込む為の南側階段室開口と北側道路面からの開口部に限定した事が室内空間の光のコントロールにも繋がり、一日を通じて表れる陰翳が限られた空間に奥行を与えている。

The site is located in an area in Osaka City where houses and factories are mixed together. The client, who runs a factory nearby, purchased two plots of land that had been sold for sale in order to build a readymade home. The client, who loves surfing and resorts, wanted a resort feeling home, in a place that had nothing to do with or was the opposite of a resort. So, we interpreted this "resort feeling" as a place where the mind can feel at ease. And in an area where factories and houses are crowded, we decided to propose a space that blends in with the area, yet allows the client to feel calm and have a place of spiritual comfort. Therefore, we created a warehouse-like box that looked like it had been built on the spot for some time, and then added the functions of living inside it layer by layer. The family consists of two couples. The first floor is a multipurpose space where employees and friends can gather, depending on their needs. The structure is extremely simple, with an LDK on the second floor and a bedroom and bathroom on the third floor. Each floor is connected by an atrium staircase built to bring in natural light from the south, resulting in a large one-room space that is connected vertically through the staircase. Currently, the west side of the building is a vacant lot, but considering that something will be built on it someday, there are no openings on the east and west sides. As it is crowded on three sides except for the north side, which is the front road side, so it is necessary to let in natural light. By limiting the opening to the south staircase and the opening from the road to the north, we are able to control the light in the interior space, and the shadows that appear throughout the day add depth to the limited space.
