The Three Roof House

Architecture

The traditional Okinawan house uses long eaves to stave off the subtropical heat. But deep eaves block natural light and darken the house. By dividing the roof into three parts, it ensured daylight from the north side and made it easier for air to pass through. The split roof secures the ceiling height suitable for each place and brings about change in the space. It is possible to protect a comfortable space with good ventilation while suppressing the strong sunlight of Okinawa. In addition, the space under the eaves that has been secured more than before can be used flexibly.
