Net-cafe-in-the-field House

He Wang, BA (Year: 3)

The project proposes a house for 100 people near Tokyo, Japan where 55% of the house is about encouraging the residents to design their own ways of living in the open fields. It takes advantage of the pathways between fields and enables the fields to be triggered as the main living space where various interior scenarios could take place without any predetermined definition for living.
Net café is a well-designed type to accommodate more people with the lowest price. Konohana Family got their spaces all over the village. They negotiate and reinvent their living spaces.

The net-cafe-in-the-field house becomes a living place for 100 people where fields could simultaneously be used to grow crops and to be organized by the residents as an extension of interior spaces.
