"Surrounded by existing buildings on three sides and facing a road to the north, the site presented limited opportunities for natural light. The design introduces a 40 sqm courtyard positioned on the north side of the house. This open void functions as the primary light source, channeling daylight deep into the interior while also supporting natural ventilation. Enclosed by walls, the courtyard establishes a private yet semi-outdoor space that shields the interior from surrounding views."
"To enhance security and privacy, the architectural team at KELUN places no windows on the facade facing the road. Instead, the courtyard organizes the plan and creates bright, open living spaces without requiring curtains or other screening elements. Through this strategy, BOND residence achieves a balance between seclusion and openness, tailored to the constraints of the surrounding apartment complex neighborhood."
The site in Hakusan City is surrounded by existing buildings on three sides and faces a road to the north, which limits natural light. The design introduces a 40 sqm courtyard on the north side that channels daylight deep into the interior and facilitates natural ventilation. Enclosed walls around the courtyard create a private, semi-outdoor space that shields interiors from surrounding views. No windows face the road to enhance security and privacy. The courtyard organizes the plan and produces bright living spaces without curtains, delivering calm, luminous interiors suited to the apartment-complex context. Lead architect: Yasuhito Inamori.
