A 3-4 Related family House
1, Young Generation
2, Old Generations
3, Kids
I want a whole family (Client's family, Both Grandparents) live in my design of 4square house.
For instance,
1st Generation:
Steven, his wife, 3 lovely daughters
Grandparents
Grandparents
Rent (having self business)
2nd Generation:
Steven, his wife, 2Lovely daughters
Grandparents
Grandparents
Daughter's family (a daughter has married)
3rd Generation:
Steven, his wife
Daughter's family(2-3 children)
Daughter's family(2-3 children)
Daughter's family(2-3 children)
continue this formation....
They can swap houses depends on their daily demands.
Basically, I am going to design 2 distinctive houses.
One for young family include 4 bedrooms, and a large openness for party. As young family often have children, I want to use a concept "connection of family" from assignment1.
The other design is for old generation families (Grandparents). So they do not need many rooms and spaces, but it is better to have much storages for them to store their memorial staffs. The hause is better to be enclosed without void in order to avoi heat-loss in the house. It may assist to improve their health level, no joint pain...etc....
As old generation families do not require large space, they can invest their land in having sharing space. So they do not need to feel loneliness.
In order to provide a sense of security for both yong and old generation families, I want to connect each house by designing external corridor and terrance. So They can keep both privacy and security each others whenever they needs.
For garage, I want to have a sharing spaces again, including facilities of external bathroom, BBQ kitchen and play groung for children.
Advantages of duplex house;
having an interactive relationship (FAMILYSHIP)
able to help/nurce old generations
old generations does not feel loneliness, they feel secure
Educational benefits from grandparents to children
Even both mother + father are working, grandparents can take care of their grandchildren
Anyway, if I want to design a house derived from generation by generation for long period, I needs to design a house that keeps being loved for a long time, and it has to be able to bear any damages.
I have noticed that Most of Japanese traditional houses or buildings has been built more than 200-300 years ago. Of course, They have been mentained several times in 200-300 years. What I interested in is its high construction skills. The Japanese traditional construction skills permit to have a needless of demolishing buildings and not to have a problem of construction waste.
Due to the deterioration of Global warming, before we regret of our attitude toward this crisis, we have to expect that everywhere has high possibility to have unexpectable natural disasters.
The Japanese Traditional construction is the design which can bear a numerous earthquakes during last 200-300 years.
Here are some images;
As these images described, they only uses 100% natural materials.Number of cars in this block;
It is not able to keep a consistency of number of cars through different generations. However, I can expect that they do not really require to use vehicle for whole day. Although, they use it for commuting, they have to pay to park their cars in the city. So they are better to take public transports for commuting. It is also environmentally friendly.
As they do not require to use vehicle for entire day. I have developed a car sustem in this block.
It is a booking system. When they need to use a car, they book a car during that time.
For example;
- when they want to pick up children
- when going to shopping
- when going to hospital
- when having a meeting
Usually they use a car to satisfy their daily needs, but in the case, when they have 2 bookings together, we need minimum 2 cars at least.
