The light house

The Light Walls House designed by mA-style Architects in Toyokawa City, Japan, stands in a street shaded by the neigbouring two-storey house. Therefore, the design brief was to create a space with uniformly distributed light by adjusting the way of letting daylight in, and the way of directing the light. By taking into consideration the space for the residents, the functions for living, and the relationship with the surrounding environment, creation of a diversity and richness in the house was intended by controlling the concept of light. Along the edges of the 9.1m square roof, sky lights are made, creating an outline, in order to provide sunlight. The roof beams narrow the sunlight, and the slightly angled clapboard interior walls with laminated wood reflect and diffuse the light. As a result, soft and uniformly distributed light is created and surrounds the entire space creating a calm almost zen like space.
