Mikulan

Japanese tea ceremony house

The client has, for as long as he can remember, a love of dog and wife. He is a doctor and his wife, Yumiko is a master of the tea ceremony. The tearoom was a long-cherished plan and the domestic architecture with a special program of four tearooms.
How eccentric an architecture dedicated to one of the most sacral Japanese ritual and named with two dogs names may sound? In love with her two pet dogs ÅeMikuÅfand ÅeLandyÅf,The client required a place for encounters and sharing the gestures of a rite introduced 700 years ago in Japan by Zen Buddhist monks. Entirely devoted to its function, the house layout is set on 4 different types of tearooms (4 & 1/2 tatami, 8 tatami, 3 tatami and Daime tatami). Each tearoom is independent and separated, while can also be opened onto other ambient through light sliding partitions made of rice paper (shoji). The interaction between in and out, artificial and natural, is remarkably emphasized by alternation of recesses and outstanding partitioning elements.
The inherited ÅeZenÅf mastery of layering finds here a new interpretation by overlaying protruding walls and deep spaces.
The client is enjoying oneself over guest's entertainment and tea now. Architect Maeda treated the materials, by playing with their thickness in order to play with shadows and lightness perception. As an articulated sequence of core spaces, tight connecting paths and breathing voids, the residence succeeds to combine an extraordinary art craft mastery and the contemporary lifestyle.
The integrated architectural and landscape design reveals the modern dining-living room together with the 4 Japanese gardens, works made by the artist-artisan Zenjiro Hashimoto, by forging several materials. Water for the Water Garden facing the main court, stone for the open Stone Garden facing the main court, soil for the small and secluded Soil Garden, and grass for the Grass Garden, alongside the living room. Cedar boards, exposed concrete and tatami mat envelop the inner spaces, which extensively interact with the zenith light that goes through the many opening or is filtered by screen translucent walls.
Though being strongly connected to the ground, over the sloping steel sheet roof,
the 2 translucent boxes on second level permeate homogeneous daylight
through their double layered glass and rice paper membrane, and become bright lanterns when the day goes dark. Thus, the daily houseÅfs sense of privacy shifts towards a more outstanding self-appreciation.
