A foreigner sees the impression that "Why do Japanese accept accepted strange architecture?" When looking at a room with no private window, a window with staircase or balustrade with no handrail, full window windows, windows. Many of the houses where foreigners wonder, appearance prominently stand out are designed by young Japanese architects. To that end, there are things that design young architects in the Japanese building industry to make their house stand out with a completely different design from others.

Clients who request work from architects who do not follow old customs also do not like obeying old customs and seem to ignore important elements in architecture such as privacy, comfort, aesthetics. So why do clients wanting to work from young architects want totally different houses from others?

Residential houses that are largely out of social standards in the West will lower the value of the houses when selling their houses in the future, so consider the danger of investing in the housing, I do not adopt much. The reason why the housing situation in Japan does not become the same logic as in the West is that there is not much concept of "selling houses that I got once" to Japanese people. The building value of a Japanese house falls rapidly like a refrigerator, which is a consumable item. Even if you build a newly built house, things like zero can happen in 15 years.

Report compiled by Nomura Research Institute (PDF file)Despite the declining population, the number of housing constructions is stable, 87% of the domestic home sales are new constructions and even compared to overseas 11 to 34% Fairly high result.

What is worrisome here is that "why do not Japanese evaluate old houses?"

The first reason for this is that "JapanNew thingsWorship ". Also, frequent earthquakes have taught the Japanese that the building is absolutely unsafe. After the Second World War, rapid industrialization advanced in Japan, each city was rebuilt, low quality low-quality houses that were not properly earthquake-resistant reinforced were mass-produced. Therefore, most of the houses built immediately after the war are torn down. However, there is no material that directly indicates that Japan is a new thing like things and the housing situation after the war is not reason to evaluate the Japanese old house.

Japanese salaried workers do not like job change so much and tend to stay in one workplace. The proportion of those who change jobs from a few years ago has increased, but stable salary is an essential condition in forming a mortgage loan. However, as salaried workers work hard to repay home loans, the value of houses keeps falling. It is impossible to sell the house second hand and live in a new house.

This trend of the real estate economy in Japan has become a big appeal to young architects. The client does not have to think about selling the purchased house in a few years and there is no right for the neighbor to complain about whatever house is built so young architects can freely design.

According to ArchDaily, "Even if we squeeze savings to purchase houses, it seems sad that it will quickly drop in value as soon as you purchase a house."
