The hole in this building is made on the architecture like the perforated line. This architecture is “House with Crest” and lined up on a cross shape. A light goes through the hole is projected in a circle shape, moves unlimitedly, and never stays. sometimes, it appears and disappears.
The house is located in Gojo , Kyoto where faces the busy street of 4m in width on the west side. The backside of the high-rise buildings of 45m line up on the east side of the site. The neighbor houses are closely built in the south and the north of the site. It is lifted to 3m in the sky. The space under that is lent as a parking lot. The result is the wind and the light of nature gather from the sky into two outside void spaces. And that extends to three inside spaces.
The street front space is the workshop for the crest making. The middle space is the living room. And the backspace is the bedroom. The gaps between those three spaces are designed as “void”. Many circular holes are made for the place where people wander. The light passes through 26 holes which are lined up on a cross shape. The workshop area and living area are separated but always connected. The drifting cloud is seen, and they finish working, and relax in the living room at the middle space. The reflected light becomes an infinite line of light and extends into the darkness of twilight on both side window of the living room.
Two street side walls overlap on “Mise (show/shop)” space from right and left as like the breast of the Kimono. The “breast” interior becomes the shop space. The circular holes made for a cross shape becomes a pattern that decorates the wall as a crest. EASTERN Design Office has completed it.
