Light Sheds是一位攝影師私人住宅花園里的攝影工作室。這座7.2*4.5米的單層小小工作室位于關東南部丘陵地區，整個空間設計完

全滿足攝影基本功能。

form the architect:

The light sheds is a photographer’s studio that stands in the garden of his existing house, located in the hilly region of southern 
Kanto. The space is solely composed of essential functions required for a photographic studio and the result is one single room of 
4.5m by 7.2m. From the start, we had a simple concept of creating a simple, pragmatic sheds.

 

 

FT Architects告訴gooood他們從著手之初便力求用“至簡”手法實現Light Sheds的設計和建造。工作室整體結構為木結構，山形墻，
坡屋頂。木結構被城市的暴露，外表皮僅安裝一層半透明的聚碳酸酯板。

其中屋頂并非對稱，而是多面非對稱的造型，與在房間盡頭匯合的大梁一同創造出驚嘆效果高空間。為了保證工作室有充足的陽光而
又不被過于強烈的陽光干擾，在呈45度角的屋頂上安排天窗，并在其它折面引入補充光。雖然工作室是封閉的，但是透過天窗若隱若
現的花園綠影以及室內穩定充足的光線，這個工作室仿佛置身室外。建筑師創造出一個模糊的空間。

 

 

In order to form a large volume out of the limited budget available, a timber frame, gable roof structure was selected. However, a gable 
roof would typically entail horizontal joists, which would reduce the clear height required for photo shoots. Following simple geometric 
rules, the roof was distorted into a multi-facetted, asymmetric form. Three ridge beams at the folding lines support the roof structure, 
negating the need for any horizontal members that may compromise the height of the room. Logs were selected for the ridge beams, for 
their ability to accommodate the complex assembly of timber rafters at various angles. Translucent polycarbonate panels reveal the 
“back of the stage set” timber framework of the walls.

Like artists’ ateliers, photographic studios require ample ambient light. Direct sunlight creates overly strong contrasts that would result
in unnatural portraits. A combination of skylights at 45 degrees and a clerestory let in diffused light from two different angles from 
above. Together with the wide windows on the side facing onto the lush garden, the interior, although enclosed, is always as bright as 
the external environment. It has the duality of being both outside and in, blurring the conventional architectural boundaries.

 

 

"我們從第一個項目c-office開始，就力求用日本木材為材料，研究木結構，讓其成為建筑的核心手段，并力爭將傳統木結構提煉轉化
到現代建筑上",FT Architects對gooood繼續說道："在Light Sheds這個項目中也采用到了木材這種古老的建筑材料，并發揮其結構
性能，創造出一個絕佳的攝影光環境空間。"

 

 

Ever since the practice’s first project, c-office, an office for a Japanese timber manufacturer, application of pragmatic structural 
solutions has been the core to our approach in all projects. We have also been continually exploring ways to inherit and translate the 
purity of traditional Japanese timber compositions into modern construction. Here, while the log beams were employed as pragmatic
means to fulfil the brief, they also bring along symbolic associations of being one of the oldest building material. In this project, we were
able to test the modern significance of this primitive material through using it as a meaningful device to create a man-made enclosure 
where photographic subjects can be exposed in “natural” light.
