THE GO HOUSE

+ Périphériques architectes' Maison Go at plataforma arquitectura, "Nous avons conçu la maison GO comme une enveloppe étrange et étrangère renvoyant au minimum à l’image d’une maison si ce n'est par son gabarit. The GO house was conceived as an unusual envelope that barely projects the image of a house if only by its shape."

KENTARO TAKEGUCHI + ASAKO YAMAMOTO

A young couple without a child needed a house to enjoy their spare time, having nice meal, enjoying films and playing billiards which require a large space with soundproof. So the first thing in question was how to get a hall at least spanning 6m, preferably of reinforced concrete, within the budget.
We think there must be a new architectural type that is suitable for this new age. At this program like house, the structure, which envelops the interior spaces can directly be the exterior form, and this monocoque structural system of reinforced concrete allowed us to express the individual need to external residential area, at the minimum scale, not disturbing the context of the circumference. You see the people acting this architecture from the rooftop to the entrance. In other words, you can find a new type of the activity in the house that all of the architecture is the circulation space. And we hope when this type of spaces prevails among the orthodox but average houses typical of an emerging residential area, there must be not small influences on the generic city of Japan.
