Details
This is a proposal for a residential community where "inner gardens" are integrated into each house. The inner gardens, enclosed by walls and openings, create a sense of hide-and-seek, with glimpses of the other side appearing and disappearing as you move. Through these gardens, residents' lives extend outdoors and connect with their neighbours. The variety of spaces, from lively gathering spots to quiet places for solitude, will become a direct part of the town's charm. The goal is to create a community that harmonizes living environments with diverse lifestyles and is designed for long-term sustainability.
The Jury‘s Statement
The subtly integrated inner gardens give the ensemble a distinctive depth, fostering both interaction and retreat in an aesthetically compelling manner. »MACHIE HIGASHI KAWAGUCHI« impresses with its harmonious dialogue between privacy and community, paired with charismatic architecture. The project sets a powerful benchmark for sustainable and diverse living, standing out in particular through its consistent and exemplary execution.
