Sakaushi House / Taku Sakaushi (O.F.D.A.)

The design of this house is based on two ideas, "Architecture should consist of flow and stagnation" and "Architecture should have Alpha Space" which is relatively public space where people in the neighborhood could drop in. Considering the legal restraints of the site, the composition of the building that can be built here is a house with three floors, including half basement, each of which is about 30m².

FUJIHIMURO Gallery and Residence / Taku Sakaushi (O.F.D.A.) + Sakaushi Lab (TUS)

The Gallery. We converted an icehouse (“himuro” in Japanese) that stored ice made at the former Fuji Ice Factory next door (which we renovated into office in 2015) into a gallery. The gallery has been designed for exhibitions (e.g. an exhibition of new works of locally produced textiles) and free use by artists staying under artist-in-residence programs. The concrete walls of the himuro had been insulated with styrofoam of about 20cm thick, lined with 6mm plywood with cedar duckboards attached onto it. Abundant styrofoam insulation was very beneficial for the conversion. In addition, we decided to use the duckboards as they were as the makeup of the interior, and we repaired the parts where they had been destroyed or lost. The himuro was divided into five chambers by concrete walls, four of which were connected through small doors.
