The Japanese say: "Building a house, at first we open an umbrella in the form of the roof, so that the shadow falls on the ground and when we settle in this shadow…."
Primarily the Japanese house is a roof that rests on the frame. There are no windows and no doors in the usual understanding. Each room contains three walls that can be moved apart or completely removed. In the beginning the land, then the stone and later wooden flooring. In the room special mats made from the pressed rice straws - tatami. The size of the room measured by tatami - usual dimension is 900x1800mm. The traditional house is one level building raised above the ground on the piles and surrounded by the wooden platforms. Overheads - canopies covering that shield from the rain and sun. The house occupies the entire piece of land granted to it. The principles of the Japanese house imply the connection between the surrounding garden and indoor area, and always contain thoughtful views from all the premises .
We have combined the basic principles of the traditional Japanese house with the achievements of the modern technologies: large-scale display glasses, energy-saving glass with sun-spraying, an accurate calculation of air movement and synchronization with the cooling and heating system, etc. In the central volume of the building were used structural beams with a span of nine meters - this made it possible to make the glass facades more pure and also the views from the windows become more extended. As a result of this decision the sliding doors also gained a significant advantage for opening. There are seven exits in the house located along the perimeter. They link the interior of the house with the landscaping. All the views from the windows have the purpose and complete the integral part of the entire concept.
