这是由Studio SUMO设计的城西国际大学iHouse学生宿舍。这是一个国际学生宿舍，位于东京市郊东金市城西国际大学校园内。第一座建筑建于新校区扩建区范围内，相对简单地组合了居住功能与公共空间，以及宪仁亲王（Prince Takamado）纪念画廊。该宿舍项目同样要求减少建设成本，以保证低廉的房间租金。建筑师为此设计了一个纤长型的矩形建筑，旨在减少校园扩建区的占地空间，并在建筑三个立面使用了横向铝带装饰的玻璃幕墙。其他公共区域包括画廊、双层阳台、活动空间、共用厨房，但室内大部分为44个宿舍单元，共可容纳133名住户。该大学想要兼顾相对富裕以及来自低收入家庭的学生，因此建筑师设计了各种各样的户型，包括带有私人浴室的独立套间、带有公共浴室的私人房等。

From the architect. As Japan copes with a declining population, universities are trying to attract an increasingly international student body for both long and short term stays. This dormitory and International Center for approximately 140 international students efficiently houses, educates, and integrates a population that is both culturally and economically diverse through a collection of shared public spaces and rooms that range from singles and doubles with private baths, to rooms sleeping four with shared bathing facilities.

These shared rooms allow JIU to offer accommodations for as little as $80/month and are particularly geared towards students of modest means from emerging Asian and Eastern European countries. The building is sited along the main access road to the university on the edge of an expanse of rice fields. It is comprised of a 9-meter wide dormitory bar that hovers over the International Center that projects out to engage the landscape.

The International Center is comprised of a gallery, archive room, and event space in memory of the late Prince Takamado who helped broker the Japan/Korea partnership that hosted the 2002 World Cup. JIU maintains a close relationship with the Takamado family. One enters the building off the campus road through a void in the bar that separates the two programs on the ground level. A louvered surface interspersed with projecting balconies masks exterior walkways that serve the dormitory rooms facing out over the rice fields beyond. Multiple sliding glass doors open onto the walkways, recalling the ‘engawa’ space of traditional Japanese houses. The provision of shared spaces, the walkway, and balcony system expand the compressed living space into the outdoors.

Product Description. The most conspicuous material is the aluminum louver the makes up the south façade. We used horizontal louvers with three different dimensions. They are attached each with the maximum cantilever from the vertical support to create a woven pattern to comprise a unified façade to the public, and shaded walkways with a dynamic play of light for the inhabitants.
