I love the clothing layering analogy you used to describe the concept of an engawa. I lived in Japan for 3 years and spent a lot of time in older villages admiring the old architecture with engawas. It would be so cool to see some tiny house designs that took advantage of such a multi functional space! TFS
That was a really nice explanation of how engawa works, I live in the caribbean and in my house we also have an “inside outside” place that is our patio kitchen, since here is always hot or hotter, cooking outside is better with the breeze. We dont have glass doors, instead we use curtains made with enea, a plant, that is a natural fiber, and absorbs the heat from the sun, so the kitchen feels so much fresh than the outside. Each part of the world has so much different solutions for their environment housing problems, is wonderful to learn other places architecture.
Thank you for your informative post on the engawa. I use the idea of engawa as ‘intermediate’ space to link in-door and out-door learning space in design of learning spaces
