This is a proposal for 5 housing on the hill, which is part of the housing land development with 588 housing in total.

In general, a land boundary creates a clearance gap which enwraps the house as an oblate and ,spatially, cut off relationship with neighbors. Where some houses are to be planned together, there is a possibility that this boundary can become fuzzy by planning and neighbor-gathering can be facilitated. We would like to propose the way of gathering which is different from the apartment houses or single-family houses.

In this project, the five houses are composed of 15 boxes and 15 yards which are laid out in a checkerboard pattern in order to utilize the spaces between buildings positively. Large garages, small yards and terraces like a pocket park, half buried boxes, which are joined along the landscape, make the borderlines fuzzy and encourage neighbors' sharing of in-between spaces.

588戸の住宅建設が予定されている分譲宅地開発地。その高台に建つ5棟の住宅群に対する提案。

　一般に、隣り合う住宅間の境界線は単なるスキマとして、住宅をオブラートのように包み、隣との関係を拒絶する。一斉に多くの住宅を建てる分譲住宅地にメリットがあるとすれば、それは、マンションでも戸建てでもない住宅のあり方を提案できる点、集まり方のデザインによって隣との関係を築くことにある。　

ここではこのスキマを積極的に空間として利用するために、5棟の住宅を15の箱と15の庭に解体し市松状に斜面に配置した。様々な用途に使える大きなガレージ。ポケットパークのような庭やテラス。半分地面に埋もれた箱。地形にそって隣り合う場所の緩やかなつながり。境界を曖昧にし、地域住民にスキマの共有を促します。
