白雲の別荘

湯河原は何時訪れても穏やかな青空と青い海が拡がっていました。その相模湾に面した高台に建つ別荘計画です。

敷地調査に現地を訪れた時には左手に真鶴半島、右手に伊豆半島そして沖合には初島と大島をはっきりと望むことが出来ました。この圧倒的なランドスケープに自然と目に浮かんだのは“青い空に浮かぶ白い雲のような家”でした。雲のようにふわふわと空に浮かぶ住処こそ、東京から週末に訪れるこの別荘の主を迎えるに相応しい器と考えました。

南面大開口を持つ母屋と二面開放の開口を持つ和室の離れで構成されています。

高台に雲が舞い降りた様に見えませんか?

Haku-Un Weekend House

In Yugawara, the calm blue sea and sky always wait for you spreading their arms. This is a weekend house on the seashore terrace facing the peaceful perspective, Sagami Bay.

When visited the site for the first time, the vast landscape such as Manazuru Peninsula on the left hand, Izu Peninsula on the right hand, and Hatsushima Island and Oshima Island off the coast, clearly came into view. Then, all of a sudden, an idea of “floating clouds house” came into mind. As a place looking forward to the owner family coming from Tokyo on weekends, the fluffy clouds floating in the sky could be an ideal nest for them to rest their wings.

This house consists the main building with a large opening facing south, and the Japanese-style annex with an adjacent two-sided opening.

Doesn’t it look as if white clouds have landed on the seashore terrace?
