'green carpet' house has been designed by japanese architectural firm
hiroshi nakamura and NAP architects.
located within a grassy plain between the ocean and mountains, the weekend
house is surrounded by a landscape with a beach and sport facilities.
the house was designed to accommodate both scenery of the ocean and of
the mountain without separating the open environment.
the grass plane was cut into and lifted up to produce an in-between space for
the house. for the roof slab, we have used anti-corrosive concrete and by
making the horizontal forces of the roof conduct into the ground, provided
the space with fewer columns. the building frame receives the external heat
insulation, while the grass soil is utilised for its protective layer and the finish
to reduce the cost of the exterior sheathing. the roof material was selected
to reflect the colour of the soil particular to this site and the seasonal changes
in vegetation.
