Japanese based architecture firms No.555 Architecture Design Office was designed Japanese single family house named KRE House located in the high-end residential area. The most remarkable requests in the various clients’ demands are “garage space for nine cards”, “the most favorite car in the living room” and “high tree in the living room”. Since all the request are not able to be accommodated on the project site, the of maximizing the living room, the building itself was designed as big “Ling Room”. Utilizing the entire basement, nine cars are able to be parked.
Various height and size rooms are floated randomly in the big living space. Structurally, light steel structure boxes are hanged from or attached to the reinforced concrete box. These randomly floating boxes keep adequate distance and height with the car and the high tree and create attractive open space. Spaces under the boxes have invisible borderline and each space has the different functions according to the height. Though there are numbers of large scale items in this house, instead of setting the usual layer of floors, random floating boxes make the spacious living area possible.
