Japanese House No. 2 - Timber Frame Construction Series - "Tatemae" - July 2021
In this series, we are in Machida, Japan where we are participating in a new Japanese house build. The house design is based on a very traditional Japanese building style. The architect, chose a more classic design with his client and utilized a lot of natural land features to help increase the comfortability of the house itself. The positioning of the house along side a hill provides cool air during the summer months and a protection from too much loss of heat during the winter months. It is difficult to juggle the somewhat extreme climate fluctuations in Japan. The hot and humid summer months and cold and dry winter months are equally as long and difficult to comfortably adjust to.
House Information:
Land Area: ~436.18 sq. meters (~132 tsubo) (~4695 sq. feet)
Building Area: ~105.29 sq. meters (~32 tsubo) (~1133 sq. feet)
Total Living Area: ~134.66 sq. meters (~41 tsubo) (~1450 sq. feet)
1st Floor Area: ~92.54 sq. meters (~28 tsubo) (~996 sq. feet)
2nd Floor Area: ~42.12 sq. meters (~12.74 tsubo) (~453 sq. feet)
The house has a two stories with the common living area situated on the first floor. The 1st floor has a large 12.5 tatami great room and a dining, kitchen, and tea area are adjacent to the large great room. Also downstairs is a full bathroom with the toilet room separated. There is an outdoor terrace space that faces the hillside which will provide cool and shade during the summer months. The second floor is available space for rooms or storage. This house is designed for communal family living where all members of the family will reside in the same room.
In Part 3 of the House No. 2 build, we are continuing the raising of the timber frame from the second floor to the roof. We also break away and take a short tour of the house showing some of the unique features in the design. This house incorporates features found in a rural thatched farmhouse and also a Machiya (町屋) or townhouse commonly found in Kyoto.

I have a friend whose father was a certified Master German cabinet maker. The family moved to Canada after the war and at one point built a summer home designed and built by the father and family using many elements of traditional German carpentry. My friend described how the Canadian building inspector spent hours examining the build just in awe of the skill exhibited and just kept saying "I've never seen that before!"

As an American carpenter, I am embarrassed at the state of our craft in my country. Drug abuse and alcoholism are rampant in virtually all of the construction trades. A tradesman who takes pride in his work is quite rare here. Building standards are aimed at accomplishing a finished structure that lasts a mere few decades and can be built quickly, cheaply, and with as little skill as possible. It's awful and I envy these Japanese carpenters for the wonderful building culture of which they get to partake.

@bayernmunchen6762 Жыл бұрын

@@dp1381 absolutely correct. No pride in workmanship. Look at eu especially Swiss / German and see how they take pride in building. Some great utube on Swiss building. There was a builder from Sweden that built homes in western conn . His homes were so efficient that once the house was season with heat . It would maintain a temp of 20 cel. He moved back to Sweden as his work was not appreciated

Loving your videos! Watching and rewatching many of them. How are they attaching those purlins to the rafters? In my western timber framing book the purlins sit into the rafters with dovetail joints, but here I see the purlins are somehow resting on top of the rafters. Are there wooden pegs? Big screws? Thanks! Edit: Oh, I found the clip where you show them (9:12) they reinforce the pegs with screws?

@thecarpentrylife 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you for watching. They set the Purlin beams on top of a komisen. The construction style of this house is pretty unique and somewhat challenging due to its requested design. There are long screws placed in addition to these komisen, but I don't think they are necessary. Perhaps due to law or regulation the screws may be a necessary addition. Sometimes wood attached by wood joinery without the compromises of metal components is superior.

This is so cool! Do they wind up giving the exposed beams and columns some sort of finish / oil? Or do they leave it bare wood?

@thecarpentrylife Жыл бұрын

The wood is left bare. However, a lot of this house was Shiage (Finish planing). This puts a glossy sheen on the wood. This type of finishing done with a Shiage plane can produce a result that will last much longer than bare wood.

What is a life expectancy of such a frame? I know there are some metal/nail free frames in Japan which are 1000 years old but this frame includes nails and screws... ??

@thecarpentrylife 10 ай бұрын

All things require maintenance. I think the trend in life and society is "low maintenance." However, this comes at a cost of using a lot of synthetic materials. If this house is properly maintained, a house like this can be handed down for generations. This being said, will the next generation living in this house like the style of this house? This house was built with naturally air dried wood, which is the most important aspect of this style of build. Thank you for watching.

What will this house look like after it is finished? And did you build a house in another country? Thank You.

@thecarpentrylife 11 ай бұрын

Unfortunately, we only filmed a short video on the finish touches which you can find on our channel. The client was eager to move in which caused a personal overlap between us finishing and the homeowner already moving in their belongings. This is typical as homeowners are trying to stop renting another home in order to quickly move into their new one. We have yet to build a house in another country, but we have been asked several times for this. Budget for a build of this size is high and to do this in another country it will be even higher. This may be a deterrent to building a house like this for someone in another country.

@silverfeathered1 Жыл бұрын

I'm very confused... How is this possible? The amount of materials used is staggering. Seems to be at least double, maybe triple the amount of manpower on site. The precision and skill needed is high. Yet... A comparable home in many parts of the USA would cost twice as much, and significantly easier to build with much wider margins of error allowed. 🤔

@asher_2789 Жыл бұрын

the amount of materials used as in... mostly wood with very little else? i noticed how theres almost no metal and way more labor. but i bet this house will stand for hundreds of years. as somebody in the trades in the US i find the lack of typical construction materials fascinating. its so simple and yet so complex.

@silverfeathered1 Жыл бұрын

@@asher_2789 Yes. At a glance, it looks to be double the typical amount of wood being used for a comparably sized building. Straight and true wood, at that. That is its downside, though. Japanese homes aren't typically built to last. Unlike in America, homes in Japan depreciate with age. Aiming for 30 years is considered a high standard.
