Necklace Villa / 1110 Office for Architecture
Briefly

The Dog Villa, located on Awaji Island, is designed for dog owners amidst significant urbanization. By embracing the changes rather than dismissing them, architects created a courtyard space that buffers noise while providing openness to the sea landscape. The villa features well-planned terraces that offer diverse experiences of light and environment, connecting indoor and outdoor spaces fluidly. This architectural approach respects the unique topography and fosters interaction with the rapidly transforming surroundings, embodying a new way of living harmoniously with nature.
The design of Dog Villa aims to address rapid urbanization on Awaji Island by embracing the changes around it with ambiguity, rather than mere acceptance or rejection.
The villa's courtyard architecture acts as a buffer to noise and proximity of neighbors while maintaining strong visual connections with the exterior environment.
