Small Home Design – N-house by StudioGreenBlue

N-house or we can call it House with concrete louvers is an Small Home Designed by StudioGreenBlue, located in Fukaya, Saitama, Japan. This Small Home Design situated on the elongated site with a ordinary landscape, arguably even no hope. This is a challenge for designers, because the owner wanted a house that could utilize the land form, consider the northwest wind in winter and calm inner space (the internal environment, consider the look from the outside).

Today, environmental issues which damaging the ecology became something important, such as the use of glass to find a sense of openness of the interior, the dependence on air conditioning to cool the room. Therefore, this Small Home Design is designed to create a sense of great openness, and efficiency by using natural energy such as solar thermal and wind, to create a comfortable space in winter and cool in warm summers and friendly environment at the same time.

To block the summer sun, and the eaves and hotels to incorporate more wind, consider the side wall, and we have bridge-type space to pass through the large opening in the north-south winds. Concrete louver spacing, in order to absorb the solar radiation at the bottom and sit on the floor life is “tight”, and between the top and “coarse” is changed to, and incorporated into the empty room. This gradient is also considered to be a soft partition with privacy and serenity, and life giving color to the gradient of the light change over time.

Building form of this Small Home Design, which is thought to actively Energy efficiency results. Promote coordination and draft form of sunlight, the role of concrete thermal storage toolbar, enhanced by housing performance. Despite Kumagaya in Japan is the hot city, summer temperatures will be reduced to about 3 times even without air conditioning, in the winter (late October), also to ensure that the room temperature 26 degrees in the middle of the night with no heating.
