This is a housing project along the old Tokaido road. Tokaido Road is one of the most important Five Routes connecting Edo (Tokyo) to Kyoto and Osaka, of the Edo period in Japan. Old townscapes remain along this historical road. The exterior continues with the old Tokaido's wood-covered texture. There is a lot of traffic on the Tokaido side, but rather than blocking the outside world, the wooden panels at different angles are intended to reflect and drown out outside sounds. The orientation of the panels was arranged using a parametric design, and the angles were adjusted so that they changed little by little. Each panel was adjusted so that a large flow would be created when the entire panel was put together.Save this picture!A courtyard was created so that the living space revolves around the courtyard. The rooms were arranged so that the movement of the sun would brighten the study area and washroom in the morning, and the living room in the afternoon.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The first floor is a connected space so that you can enjoy a space whose atmosphere changes from moment to moment depending on the time of day. On the second floor, indoor and outdoor bridges surround the courtyard, creating a sense of circulation.Save this picture!Save this picture!By creating a level below the floor, we have created a space where you can bury yourself in the earth and relax. The base extends and forms a table. The stairs were raised with bolts to create a floating staircase in front of the garden. The roof is structured to form a courtyard, and Mt. Fuji can be seen through the gap between the two intersecting roofs.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessAbout this officeMaterialWoodMaterials and TagsPublished on January 04, 2025Cite: "House Along the Old Road / KOMINORU Design" 03 Jan 2025.

Enter Z-ROPE+, a ropeless battle rope system that feels like its been pulled out of some futuristic gym where heavy-duty exercise doesnt need heavy-duty equipment. The future of tech is wireless, so why not the future of gyms, eh??Picture this: youre in your living room, barely enough space to stretch, let alone swing traditional battle ropes. With Z-ROPE+, theres no sprawl, no ear-splitting thwacks against the floorjust smooth, controlled resistance. Its all thanks to a multi-level spring system that adjusts the intensity with a simple swap. Light gray for the beginners dipping their toes into fitness, silver for steady lifters looking for a challenge, and dark gray for the beasts who thrive on pushing their limits.Designer: ZEST UPClick Here to Buy Now: $159 $199 ($40 off) Hurry, Only 15 Days Left!Traditional battle ropes demand spacelots of it.
