講評会を  SHARING - VISUAL SPATIAL FUNCTIONAL 

 As in the traditional Japanese house, a transition space between 

public and private is included. Those "en"spaces are more of a social place, 

where neighbours gather and children play. The "nure-en" in japanese houses

protects the inhabitants from rainy days, permitting residents to enjoy their garden. 

This same concept is applied to the buildings in Kashiwanoha. 

By pulling back the showcases for two meters, the building itself functions as 

a roof all over our site. The showcases serve as the "en"space, 

a place where community can gather any time of the day. 

Once you go up, a more private sphere is established.

       

           

 The relation in between the ground floor of the residential buildings differs if its looking 

to the street or courtyard. The courtyard is a semipublic space being more oriented 

to the social live and the street more oriented to commerce.

This streets have different characters.

These different characters of streets will help to organize the town 

making very easy to find what each person living in Kashiwanoha needs.
