Inkyo House

Pascal B.
A sloped-roof house open to the yard and park by DHPA. The building was concentrated on the elevated east side of the plot to maximize the yard space on the west side. A sloped roof, designed to prevent leaks, was chosen, and the high-ceilinged living room was placed adjacent to the yard to enhance the sense of openness. The layout was designed to create an open flow between the living room, kitchen, dining area, and attic, making the small space feel larger. From the living room, one can enjoy the greenery of the landscaped trees in the yard, as well as the park trees beyond the wall. To allow natural sunlight into the bedrooms and bathrooms on the south side, the roof was cut into sections, creating a dynamic sloped roof. This design minimizes the need for artificial lighting, while the atmosphere inside changes throughout the day as the sunlight and clouds move across the sky.
