Komatsu Ishikawa
Due to an approximate height of 1.5m snow load condition, roof snow removal
and its neighbouring environment, a quarter vault in light weight steel
frame structure was chosen. A stretch of high side light on the eastern
side of the house which faces a neighbouring house, lets plenty of sunlight
in to illuminate the R-shaped ceiling thus reflecting light down to the
first floor living space. Despite the numerous existing wall surfaces,
the house is still guaranteed to receive light all through hot summer and
cold winter in northern Japan.
