Overview
IGArchitects developed a house in Okinawa characterized by the strategic overlapping of reinforced-concrete walls, columns, and a substantial roof. This architectural approach aims to generate a continuous spatial sequence, intending to obscure the traditional division between internal and external environments.
Approach
The design methodology employed by IGArchitects centered on the use of specific architectural components: reinforced-concrete walls, reinforced-concrete columns, and a large roof structure. The core concept involved these elements overlapping. This overlapping configuration was engineered to establish a spatial continuity. The objective of this continuity was to blur the perceived boundaries between inside and outside within the house's structure.
