建築の設計に携わる多くの人は、将来自分の家を自身の手で設計する事を夢見るのではと勝手に想像する。私もその一人で、いつの日か自分の家を設計したいと願っていたが、身の回りの種々の条件が整い、遂に自邸を設計する日がやってきた。さて、どんな家を設計しようか。人は単純なもので、子供の時に見てきた身近な建物や空間・素材、時には印象的だった建築のイメージなどが重なり合い、それらの記憶の積み重ねに導かれて自邸が出来上がっていった。毎日の登下校で見てきた焼杉に瓦屋根の素朴な民家。図工の授業や夏休みの宿題で絵を描いた禅宗の寺。親に連れられて見て回った城や黒壁の町家。昔の記憶によってすり込まれた美意識に現代的な工夫を施すことで、古くも新しい外観の自邸となった。

自邸の内部は一時期同居した祖父母の家の影響を受けている。深い軒に守られた室内は常に暗がりが支配し、暗がりの中から見る庭の緑は特に美しく印象的だった。自邸においても開口を絞って落ち着きと暗がりのある空間とし、庭の緑を美しく眺めることができるように設計した。現在は3人暮らしであるが、将来的なライフステージにおいて、2人や1人暮らしであっても寂しさを感じないようなコンパクトなサイズ感であり、高齢になっても1階のみで生活が完結できる回遊性のあるプランニングとした。

自邸というとついホームランを打ちたくなる気持ちが高まるかもしれないが、信頼を寄せる工務店と二人三脚で地味に地道に細かな納まりや配慮を積み重ね、日々の生活にストレスがなく長年家族が愛し使い続けることが出来る確かな住宅が出来上がったと思う。

I imagine that many people involved in architectural design dream of one day designing their own home. I was one of those people, and I always hoped to design my own home. Finally, various circumstances around me led to the day when I could design my own home. So, what kind of home should I design? People are simple creatures. The familiar buildings, spaces, and materials I saw as a child, along with sometimes impressive architectural images, all overlapped, and my home was created guided by these accumulated memories. The simple houses with charred cedar and tiled roofs I saw every day on my way to and from school. The Zen Buddhist temples I drew pictures of in art class and for summer homework. The castles and black-walled townhouses my parents took me to see. By incorporating modern touches into the aesthetic sense instilled in me by my old memories, my home has a new, yet ancient, appearance. The interior of my home is influenced by the house of my grandparents, with whom I once lived. The interior, protected by deep eaves, was always shrouded in darkness, and the greenery of the garden, seen from within the darkness, was particularly beautiful and impressive. Even in their own home, they narrowed the openings to create a calm, dark space, allowing for beautiful views of the greenery in the garden. Currently, three people live in the home, but the house is compact enough that they won't feel lonely even if they live alone or with just two people in the future, and the planning allows for easy movement so that even in older age they can live entirely on the first floor. When you think of building your own home, you might be tempted to hit a home run, but by working closely with a trusted builder and steadily paying attention to the small details and details, I believe they have created a reliable home that will make daily life stress-free and that the family can love and use for many years to come.
