東大阪市内の小さな町工場と建売住宅が多く密集する一角に依頼主が所有する土地があり、そこで住宅を計画するにあたって、街のスケール感について考えてみた。駅から計画地までの初めての道のりで他の街にはない、東大阪らしい街の雰囲気やスケール感を感じた。この独特のスケール感は建物の大きさ、密集具合、人、車等、様々な要素が絡み合って醸し出しているもので、この雰囲気の中に上手く溶け込むような住宅が出来れば、街のスケール感を壊すことは無いだろうと考えた。そこで、建物は分棟型とし、2棟の建物を南北にそれぞれ配置、更にヴォリューム感を抑え、周囲の建物に溶け込むように意識している。南北の建物は互いに共鳴しあうかのように3次元相似形とすることで街のスケール感に出来るだけ馴染む事を意識した住宅である。

The client owned a land in a corner of Higashiosaka City where many small factories and prefabricated houses are densely packed When planning a house there, we thought about the scale of the city. On the first walk from the station to the site, we felt the atmosphere and scale of the city that is unique to Higashiosaka, which is not found in other cities. This unique sense of scale is created by the intertwining of various elements such as the size of the buildings, the density, people, and cars, and we thought that if we could create a house that blends well into this atmosphere, it would not destroy the sense of scale of the city. Therefore, the building is a separate type, with two buildings located on the north and south sides, and the sense of volume is further suppressed, and it is conscious of blending in with the surrounding buildings. The north and south buildings are three-dimensionally similar as if they resonate with each other, and this house is conscious of blending in as much as possible with the sense of scale of the city.
