Naked House

Naked House
Shigeru Ban the 'paper architect' - as he was known from then on - designed a house, "naked" of any partitions, as a reply to a commission for a house that had to encourage the relationship between the members of a three generations family.
This large family had a land in Kawagoe, a small town on the outskirts of Tokyo where the accelerated speed of city life gives way to a calm landscape of greenhouses and rice fields that extended along the river Shingashi. In a Japanese context, it is a privilege to possess a land that can contain a house of more than one hundred square metres. The client having such an opportunity, decided to maximise, the significance of the communal space in the house where the different generations could communicate and relate to each other.
Also, being part of the client's culture, one could argue that Shigeru Ban, took as a starting point the traditional Japanese meaning of the word "dwelling" - symbolising the roof as a gateway between heaven and earth. Consequently, the roof expresses the atmosphere of the place and it is precisely by the ceiling that people's thoughts have generous space.
Even more so, the delicate floor in the traditional Japanese house is understood like a platform which forms part of the furniture. It implies a magnet state similiar to that of walls in Eurpean dwellings which we tend to sit against. In Japan the main pole of attraction is the floor and where one is seated rather than standing or walking on. The way of life in the Japanese house is motivated by movements that cherish the floor, leaning against it or even moving about it on four feet. The floor also gains attention with horizontal lines, the sliding doors and movable screens, as well the black lines that frame the places where things happen. This list of elements directs the viewers' attention to the floor as a place of communication.
Between the floor and ceiling, the foundation for people's dwelling lies in the spiritual. It is the place where the soul is nourished without any distraction of ornamentation or external influences - an idea that derives from Zen Buddism and the belief that knowledge is obtained through reflection and insight.
Working within the concept of different generations fusing their lives, Shigeru Ban came up with a translucent shed-like structure containing a single common space in which private areas were reduced to a minimum. Private spaces for each member of the family are organised by four mobile, cubicle bedrooms. The three generations thereby shared a house which took reference models so opposed as the room of four and a half tatamis - the basic unit of traditional Japanese architecture - and the loft - a summary of a residential ideal, occidental and metropolitan, that renounced partitions in the interests of greater spatial amplitude.
The open-plan and neutral space of the shed can be organised and transformed as needed by moving the bedrooms, they even can be drawn out to the garden through the large window on the western facade. With them, and by emphasising the movement of the cubicles by making their wheels highly visible, the surface of the floor reinforces its quality as a place of communication.
On the opposite end of the house, next to the porch that serves as the parking area, the bathroom, laundry and a dressing room are drawn together. All the clothes of the family members are stored together to avoid the use of wardrobes that would impede the movement of the cubicles. The kitchen is placed at one side of the shed and separated from the common living area by way of a curtain.
With a similar appearance as the greenhouses nearby, a translucent enclosure was designed to protect the family's privacy and to avoid unwanted glances from the access route. The exterior of the wooden framework which forms the structure is clad with corrugated translucent plastic reinforced with fibreglass, while the interior facade is covered with cotton fabric fixed with Velcro to make it easier to clean. The problem that Shigeru Ban was faced with was to find thermal insulation, which permitted the light to filter through. Once more following his interest in introducing new materials in the building construction, and by practising with colourful materials such as wood splinters and remnants of recycled paper, he decided to fill the cavity left between the two planes with polystyrene shaving that in Japan is used to pack fruit. The only requirement to make this product suitable was to have to saturate it in a liquid that held back fire and to enclose it in transparent vinyl bags that were sealed and nailed to the wooden structure. With the exception to the cubicles, which were constructed with brown corrugated carton, the interior of the whole house enjoys the same milky white light that characterised the old houses with screens made of rice paper.
In the same way as the traditional Japanese house is not thought as a permanent dwelling but a place where the inhabitants stay temporarily until their situation changes, the Naked House is designed as a one space which describes the course of time like water in the river that never stands still and takes on enumerable forms.

Enfield Planners are due to make a decision on our 22 affordable homes early in the new year.
Please help us win approval by submitting a letter of support now!
This could make all the difference between whether we gain their support for the scheme or not.
We have provided a sample letter below, but if you want to write your own you can.
You can submit the same letter to our three separate planning applications (for the three separate sites): Raynton Road East: Application Ref: 21/03248/OUT Raynton Road West: Application Ref: 21/03246/OUT Meyer Green: Application Ref: 21/03247/OUT
We’re really proud of the designs by our architect OMMX who are members helped choose. The homes built simply but built well. In most cases they are readily extendable from 1 beds to 3 beds - meaning they can grow as people’s need grow.
One of the things we’re proudest of: they are super sustainable - which is good for the environment and good for people’s energy bills. We think it’s much more important to spend money getting these fundamentals right so our homes will keep on serving people and planet.
Thank you for your support - this is a crucial juncture for Naked House and your letter of support could really help make the difference.
Letters of support can be sent directly to the case officer at Enfield quoting application ref's 21/03246/OUT, 21/03247/OUT, 21/03248/OUT)

Letter of Support for Enfield Naked House scheme
I am writing to express my support for the Naked House housing scheme in Enfield. All homes will be 100% affordable - an important contribution to help address the affordability crisis in London.
As an innovative not-for-profit developer Naked House has prioritised many things people want in housing - generous space, a sense of community and quality materials - fundamentals often forgotten by developers.
The use of masonry allows these affordable homes to be sustainable which is good for the environment and good for people’s energy bills.
The principle that residents can adapt and expand their homes themselves is particularly welcome - an exciting prospect for the many potential custom-builders in the Borough who are not currently catered for.
In the midst of a climate and housing crisis I support the use of Council-owned land for building sustainable affordable homes. London and Enfield needs more positive, original homes of high architectural value such as these.

The Mayor has agreed to invest £500,000 to deliver 22 custom-built new and permanently affordable homes for first-time buyers across three sites in Enfield. The project will be delivered by Naked House – a group of Londoners who strip developments back to their bare essentials allowing communities to design and shape the homes they live in. This is the first time a community-led housing group has received funding from City Hall.

Thank you to everyone who came to the Naked House drop in session in February, we really enjoyed meeting you all and hearing your feedback. You may have already seen that we have appointed OMMX as the architect for the first three Enfield schemes. They were certainly the favourite at the drop-in session. People really liked their proposal for a mews of 1-bed Naked Housesthat can be extended to 3-bed houses by the homeowner. If you want more details, this recent article in Dezeen explores OMMX’s design in more depth.

Naked House is part of the team for the British Pavilion in this year’s Architecture Biennale in Venice.
The entrance to our room in the British Pavillion. A Home For Years, a good motto for Naked House.

We’re delighted to say that Naked House has been selected by New London Architecture as one of the winning entries in their high profile ‘New Ideas for Housing - International Ideas Competition’ .
It’s a brilliant boost for us - we’ve already been featured in the press - Time Out and Dezeen .
We entered with Pitman Tozer Architects - who provided a great design, and Enfield Council - who supplied the land. We bring our members and custom-build process to the mix and it was this collaborative approach that strengthened our submission. More importantly it means we now have the team to deliver work towards delivering this in real life. We met this morning to discuss next steps, and as part of winning, we have a meeting booked with the GLA on how to put our ideas into practice.
