大宮の集合住宅/ Apartment in Omiya

The site is located near Omiya Station, a huge terminal, at the corner of an intersection of a main street and an entertainment district street lined with commercial facilities and office buildings. The building complex consists of retail stores, rental housing, and the owner's residence. The owner's residence on the top floor has a large number of rooms, each with a terrace and tsuboniwa (small garden) leading outside. The private rooms are arranged on the upper and lower floors without overlapping each other, and are distributed as rectangular boxes of different sizes and proportions. Storage rooms and staircases are placed in the center of the upper and lower floors, allowing for a large circulation. Despite being in the city, the sky feels close by, and a quiet environment is obtained far from the hustle and bustle of the city. The building is a building that directly reflects the lifestyle of the residents who are accustomed to living in this area, and we wanted to place a clear outline of the architectural structure in a corner of the chaotic city that can be clearly visualized.
