Otake House – A Modern House with Unique Eave

The location of this nice house is in West of Hiroshima prefecture, on a high plateau that neighbors the Kamei Park of the Kamei Castle Ruins. The south of the site is an industrial region and a beautiful mountain range. While the North, a remarkable view of the Seto Inland Sea and Miyajima can be seen from there.

The North side of the house accommodates bedrooms, kitchen, dining area, and wide apertures to view the distant scenery. The wide apertures are functional as load bearing parts of the structures. At the South side, the architects try to free this part from some structural elements. Here, they designed a living area and terrace with a 6 meter eave, treating the terrace and living area as equal to create a free space with no division between inside and out.
The building is covered with water proof material. The architects have made a unique and and detailed building that doesn’t require sealants or tiling. The nature-like space created by the application of the glossy waterproof material wraps around the building.
