AMISH PATEL | DFN 2004 | SPRING 2011 | PROFESSOR TANGO PLUS HOUSE SHIZUOKA, JAPAN_MOUNT FUJI ARCHITECTS STUDIO_279.92m2
GENERAL INFO • LOCATION- • Mountainside of Izu-san, where Pacific Ocean can be looked down on the south. • The untouched wilderness, covered with deciduous broad-leaved trees such as cherry trees and Japanese oaks, gives little level ground. • USE- • The architecture would be used as villa for weekend
CONCEPT • Seems to emerge as an underlying shape that the natural environment has been hiding. • Seems like an off-centered cross pinned carefully on natural terrain. One axis of the cross stretches toward the Pacific Ocean on south, and the other, the forest of Japanese oak and some white birch on west. • The architecture was realized by crossing two rectangular parallelepiped at very right angles. • Lower Rectangle • Contains private rooms and bathroom, and sticks half of the body out to existing narrow level ground. • Upper Rectangle • The upper one incorporates salon and kitchen, and lies astride the lower one and the mountain ridge.
MATERIALS • Exterior Finish- • White marble • WHY? • The surface get smoother as it approaches to the southern/western end till it takes mirror gloss at the ends. • Interior Finish- • Water polished white marble • WHY? • Glows softly like Greece sculptures to blend blue light from the south and green light from the west gradationally, thus creates delicate continuous landscape of light which suggests the character and usage of the space.
