RUMAIKO

The house is designed as a simple layout that can penetrate the outdoor atmosphere inside. The garden surrounds the house from the back and side, enclosing the house in greeneries. The rooftop is maximized as a greenhouse and the dry garden is a source of fresh air and gathering space. The abundance of green space allows the user to indulge in their hobby of planting.

The straightforward layout enables us to create a air chimney above the stairs to pull the cold air in and drive the hot air out, creating a stack effect. The stairs are made out of perforated metal to allow air and light to pass. The facade is a second-skin corrugated metal that functions not only as an aesthetic choice but as an insulation that traps heat from going inside the building. The building also collects rainwater and maximizes its use for irrigation and toilet flush. On the rooftop, we put PV panels to harvest solar energy for the house. These features allow us to minimize the building energy use.
