【Background】
This is a newly built single-story house located in a residential area in Morioka City, Iwate Prefecture, Japan, which is perfect for a family of four.
The family consists of two children and a father who are all passionate about baseball training. Therefore, they wanted a convenient indoor space in their home for drying a large amount of daily laundry. Taking into consideration privacy protection and the busy lifestyle of this family, juggling work, household chores, and sports activities, we designed a large sunroom with a simplified household workflow, positioned at the center of the house.
The sunroom is equipped with a motorized clothesline that can be easily adjusted to any desired height with the push of a switch. It also serves as a play area for the children, connecting to the living room through four sliding doors, allowing it to become a spacious room for use when guests visit.
By incorporating a tall and spacious corridor-like sunroom, resembling a chimney, between the surrounding rooms, we have created a central space in the home where various pleasures can be enjoyed, like a sandwich.
