4 Lacks Low Budget House

The house is a furniture designer, a wife working at home, and two young children. They borrowed apartments in the area, but their dream was to build a house. One day I went to a nearby Mizuishi office. They did not have a big budget, but built a house in the same neighborhood. I found this finely narrow land along the river looking for a mizu stone and the premises. That site is a plot sandwiched between small lanes. However, narrowness was not the only challenge. According to Article 43 of the Building Standards Act of Japan, all the properties must be connected directly or via a roadway to a road of at least 4 meters wide to enable access to emergency vehicles. However, because the lane next to the house is less than 4 meters, this was not the case. It was therefore difficult to contact the city and its surroundings, obtain special permission, and adapt as many designs as possible to buyers for such land. So luckily for the owner, it is lower price than the market average for that area. Currently I asked if Mr. Mizuishi could build a house. If they can withdraw living space from the site, they can do it by devising something. The project starts to take shape. The ground of the site is lower than the promenade along the river, so it is possible to see the first floor. Therefore, the main residential area is on the second floor, it is also a family that sees the view of the roads and rivers. These show the house right after completion, but the trees are mature and they are blocking visibility. Given the location along the river, flooding may affect the site. For this reason, the first floor was lifted 24 inches above the ground and the 24 hour underfloor ventilation was to prevent moisture. A movable sliding door was installed at the entrance, but with such a narrow structure, there is a possibility that the house may roll over during the earthquake. Too many pillars would have reduced internal space. Instead, the internal structure consists of a small load-bearing wall inside and it is also useful for dividing the interior into zones. The row of ceramic siding covers the first floor and the second floor is surrounded by a brown galvanized steel sheet. Texture and color will not hurt the appearance of the house than if it had a monotonous appearance. Switching to another finishing material on the second floor part is also the area.
