The Aoi Model House integrates high housing performance—specifically Insulation Grade 7, Seismic Resistance Grade 3, and HEAT20 G3—with meticulously designed lighting, airflow, and spatial aesthetics.
The firm aims to create homes where the structure itself supports household finances and lifestyle, rather than homes where residents must sacrifice comfort to save costs.
■ Why HEAT20 G3 is necessary in Shizuoka
Many believe that Shizuoka's mild climate makes high insulation unnecessary. However, considering recent surges in electricity and gas prices, homes with low insulation performance continuously burden household finances through monthly utility bills. The HEAT20 G3 standard ensures indoor winter temperatures remain generally above 15°C, reducing temperature gaps throughout the house.
■ Key Features
1. Comfortable living anywhere in the house thanks to Insulation Grade 7 and HEAT20 G3.
2. Open space design that feels much larger than its approximate 30-tsu (approx. 99 sq meters) footprint.
3. Peace of mind with Seismic Grade 3 and forward-thinking 'smart homebuilding' designed for the next 30 years.
Moving forward, Jyu-ka Architects Office continues to offer homebuilding that makes customers active participants in creating their ideal lives, based on their corporate philosophy of 'increasing the number of creators.'
