A House That Weaves the Landscape.

The site is located east of Asahikawa, near the national highway leading toward Biei and Furano.
Originally a ranch, the land was scheduled for large-scale residential development.

Shortly after being consulted by the client, we visited the site before the land was graded — a gentle meadow still covered with grass.
From the intended plot, beautiful rolling hills and rows of poplar trees could be seen.

We believed that through careful planning, these views could be preserved.
With that conviction, the project began.

Two primary design intentions guided the process:

To preserve the memory of the land.

To create flexibility in response to the buildings that would inevitably be constructed nearby in the future.

敷地の記憶を残すといっても、牧場風の意匠や色彩を引用することではありません。
かつて広がっていた丘陵や田園の穏やかな起伏、パッチワークのような風景の構成を、建築のプランへと翻訳することを試みました。

その方法として、中庭を多用し、敷地をクライアントの希望に近い室寸法を基準にグリッド化。
そのグリッドの中に内外の空間を慎重にはめ込みながら、視線の抜けや遮りを丁寧に調整しました。

分節された庭は、菜園や来客を迎える庭など用途が明確になり、それぞれが異なる表情を持つ外部空間となっています。

このグリッドは外観にもフレームとして現れ、
室内外の境界を曖昧にする装置であると同時に、将来周囲に建物が建ち視界が変化した場合には、ルーバー等を組み込める拡張性も備えています。

フレームで切り取られた庭をさまざまな方向から眺める構成により、
自然のリズムと呼応する豊かな空間を実現しました。

Preserving the memory of the site did not mean imitating a ranch-style aesthetic.
Instead, we translated the original pastoral landscape — the rolling hills and patchwork-like fields — into the architectural plan.

The site was organized into a grid based on room dimensions close to the client’s requirements.
Within this grid, interior and exterior spaces were carefully inserted, adjusting views and visual connections with precision.

The subdivided gardens gained distinct purposes — vegetable gardens, guest gardens — each forming a layered external landscape.

This grid appears externally as a structural frame.
It blurs the boundary between inside and outside while also serving as a future-ready device: should surrounding development obstruct views, louvers or screens can be inserted within the frame.

The gardens, framed and viewed from multiple directions, create a spatial composition that resonates with the rhythms of nature.
