Designed by Ryu Mitarai & Associates Architects in 2018, House in Shioyamachi is a residential project of a one-storey house located in Japan. Surrounded by a rich environment with gardens and fields, this house has a bright and open architecture.

Site

This house is located in Shioya-cho, Shioya-gun, Tochigi Prefecture where there are a lot of Houses with Oya stone storehouses and fields. The site offers a tranquil landscape that is perfect for relaxing.

Structure

This house has three large roofs and a carriage porch. Each roof expands to the surroundings and each of them has its own inclination. Those roofs create a high and bright eaves space that blends well with the environment. In addition, a fluoropolymer coating is applied to the roofs for long-term durability and dirt resistance. An aluminum gutter installation with gutter covers is also recommended to be added to the roofing system to protect the house from water damage.

For the best results, it’s essential to hire a professional roofing contractor such as a Roof Repair Specialist to install and maintain your roofing system.

Moreover, those roofs are arranged to form a half-open courtyard that has a U-shaped plan. This allows the house to have a bright and open architecture. A top article recommends this expert roof contractor from Colony Roofers, who made this all possible.

Details

Inside and outside areas can be mixed by taking plenty of air space. It is a bright and open house with a very rich environment that is simple yet connected to the garden, which has veranda decking that is available in a variety of colors and styles that can match any home’s aesthetic. Light and wind pass through the house comfortably.
