here are some architectural demonstrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
from horizontal to vertical. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
a good example is found at the “sh” house in tokyo, designed by hiroshi nakamura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n the skylight is the main element that, together with the distribution and selected materials, facilitates daylight distribution as a cascade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n undoubtedly, the singular organic shape integrated into the facade provides a different distribution of luminance levels, especially when light hits the surface of the created bench. <\/p>\n\n\n\n as a result, a certain contrast is achieved in the material, adding shadows to a space whose lighting will generally appear homogeneous. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n we are not sure how the shape contributes to a good daylight distribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n nevertheless, on a perceptual level, there is no doubt that this solution is much more interesting than a proposal for a skylight in a totally vertical wall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n as with transparent facades, this type of projects requires a real commitment to indoor distribution, analyzing where light is required and why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n the house establishes new relationships between user-facade and user-outdoors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n its inhabitants can go beyond the vertical axis that distinguishes privacy from public space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n they can also be absorved by the structure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n in this particular case, the architect’s personality is reflected in the creation of a kind of mother’s womb. <\/p>\n\n\n\n consequently, the facade means protection. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n it is not the first time that nakamura stands out for risky proposals or, at least, for schematic breaker projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n in the \u00aboptical glass house\u00bb we find a set of elements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n there is a transparent fa\u00e7ade that palys the role of a blind one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n its transparency is conditioned by the incorporation of natural elements that block the view from the outside and provide privacy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n however, the optical glass material allows to broaden the relationship with its surroundings, as well as to achieve interesting lighting effects in order to delight users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n an excellent example of how to add value to the building through sunlight incidence and daylight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n another very different housing case is the one proposed by the portuguese architecture firm aires mateus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n “casa leiria” divides volumes into two levels, two buried patios and a flat geometry, acting as an idea of a primary house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n likewise, the house concept is reduced to its maximums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n it proposes extreme simplicity, something that demonstrates the complexity behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n extruded incisions are the main daylight entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n everything that is below the plan level becomes an emitting source; what is above, could be interpreted as less important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n consequently, two main materials are distinguished: glass and white coating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n white colour not only helps to minimize any hint of ornamentation, but also contributes to the reflection of natural light. <\/p>\n\n\n\n form, environment and materials are treated at the same time. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n as with the “sh” house in tokyo, users establish a more direct relationship with the sky than with their surroundings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n in this house, users enjoy total privacy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n however, views only depend on one’s location position in relation to the two levels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n another possible approach to what we understand as \u201cviews to the garden\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n aires mateus studio is also known for working on projects that put in question privacy, daylight access and the relation with the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n in the following case, less risky, we shift to semi-blind and transversal circulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “quiet house” is located in h\u00e9rault, france, and was created by artelabo studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n it is characterized by the insertion of two interior courtyards, which divide the house into opaque or semi-open modules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n although privacy is maintained from neighbors, an opening with views to the rural environment is not renounced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n something that fits conventional lighting distribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n in conclusion, blind facades can help to solve certain housing aspects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n they can even provide a certain characterization in public places. <\/p>\n\n\n\n as a common resource, vertical openings are replaced by skylights, something that requires some attention in terms of insulation, access to mechanical ventilation and protection from outdoors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n regarding lighting, this type of mechanism tends to offer a more homogeneous and extended distribution in the room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n a blind facade isolates the user from the environment, but it also offers a new relation with light sources. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n that said, it is important to consider the location of the building, the orientation and its general climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n by doing so, we will know if different lighting effects, those that break with the homogeneity early mentioned, can be offered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n white finishes are also essential when proposing new ways to project light. <\/p>\n\n\n\n in the examples shown it should be pointed that a facade helps to convey a message of simplicity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n as with transparent secondary skins, a blind facade can never ignore the user and the indoor layout. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n for the less convinced, there are always intermediate solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n facades can contribute to new ways of living.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" from naked facades to blind ones… in this post we want to show other ways […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4419,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[62,105],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4447","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-consulting","category-news"],"yoast_head":"\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.dos54.ws\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/sh-house-1.jpg\")
