Traditional TH Neo-TH

・Ceramic roof tiles ・Reinforced concrete

・Wood beams bearing frame
・Brick walls
・During the 19century, building materials came to include
wood and bricks for the walls and structure, and
hand-made tiles for the roof
・The traditional TH：a sloping roof parallel to the street
the sometimes extends as a thatch canopy overthe
sidewalk. The roof tiles have the shape of fish scales and flat
terra cotta tile. At the two ends of the rooftop thereis a
protecting rectangular volume called the roof pillar
・The common walls between houses
→ made of bricks covered by roughcast and extend 1.5m to
2.0m in a stairshape from the roof
→have a practical function in that they prevent the spread
of fire, whileaesthetically they break the monotony of the
street.This type of tube-house has one or two storeys and
an attic.
・The street façade：composed by solid wood panelsthat
were removed and used as shop stalls during daytime. At
the attic level, there is a little door with dimensionsabout
40cm x 40cm or 40cm x 60cm. The interior doors are such
folding wood screens
☆I thought we could create a modern version of a tube house using an ancient and familiar material, kawara (roof tile).

@Exterior : For example, the photo on the left is an example of the outside use.
In traditional houses→they are used by laying them down・・・they give the impression of being heavy
↓
making a gap・・・sunlight can be reflected and ventilation can be improved

@Interior : Using the "difference in level

The first floor is open as a place of connection with the outside.
if all the floors were at the same level→it would be no different from the old tubehouse,
↓
we raised the floor a few steps. This will be used as a semi-public space.
The same way, the upper floor will be a skip floor that is raised a few levels.
Because the house is vertically long, I thought that creating various spaces by cross-sectional composition would result in a rich dwelling.
