6:15 THIS is how I want my room to look like. There's only one thing I don't understand about Engawa: as much as I love the open view, I wouldn't feel safe unless it was in an enclosed yard, or on an artificial hill with steep stone walls, as Japanese castles have... Those sliding doors don't seem to offer any protection. I know that even more sturdy-looking doors in Europe tend to be a joke. I personally kicked open a steel door once (it was a locked fire door and it did hurt my knee for days, but the fact that it broke tells you all you need to know about the construction...). I grew up in a bad neighborhood and the fact that people could breach within seconds is something that always scared me...
It isn't uncommon for tall (usually bamboo) fences to enclose a yard/garden or an entire property (depending on size) of traditional Japanese houses. That doesn't mean all of them do or did, but it is something to consider. As long as it's a natural material, it could work with the aesthetic of the architecture.
I do love these videos, so many fantastic design ideas ie 5:13. Thanks again for creating your channel, it must take a great deal of time and effort to create.
I appreciate your explanations of important factors in the design. But tell me, do people who live in these settings not mind insects coming into their home? Is that not a consideration?
Good day! I am an architecture student in the philippines. One of our subject requires us to have an interview with a japanese architect. If someone here reads it and a japanese architect kindly answer these questions. Thank you so much it would be a great help to finish our project in that subject. 1. Name- 名前 Age 年代 Occupation 職業 2. Why did you choose to be an Architect?- なぜあなたは建築家になることを選びましたか？ 3. How would you describe Japanese Architecture? 日本建築についてどう思いますか？ 4. What documents do you need in order to start and finish a residential house in Japan? 日本で住宅を始めたり終えたりするのに必要な書類は何ですか？ 5. What are your Tips to future architects?将来の建築家にあなたのヒントは何ですか？
Hey there, this is my first time to your channel. I'm very pleased.im really impressed by Japanese tradition homes and all traditional Japanese things? But, I have a question: can these types of homes be able to thrive and builder in the south(Tennessee) and builder here. What I need to do?
Great video as always I finally know how to name 'that' space. I was wondering why most of the old japanese residential houses are elevated up above yhe ground is it because the ground humidity ? I like the effect of the floating though. Thank u for the quality content and keep up the good work. cheers
These houses, especially the more traditional ones, are very beautiful. Unfortunately, if a home like this were built in the United States, I think it would be a prime target for burglars with all the potential entry points. It would be a nuisance for the resident to have to make sure all those sliding doors and screens are closed before leaving or retiring for the night. Perhaps burglary is not as big a problem in Japan?
Steve Anderson When these types of houses were most popular, they usually had stucco looking solid fences around the entire property with gates at the entrance which might dissuade burglars of the time. Also in japan burglary is not very much of a problem at all.

I've been trying to learn more about Japanese architecture, and this video was super helpful! Thank you!
Do you have any books to recommend. Or even other videos about it
Great video! Interested in adding an "engawa" to my current project, this video was very helpful. Thank you
Thanks for talking over the pictures and explaning, so many videos add awful music. Keep up the good work.
I love Japanese design principles.
Bless you for the name. I've been calling it 'that japanese patio hall thing' for months. xD

Thank you for this video and congratulations on featuring in the references of an aspiring landscape architect ^_^7 :P
Wow I should take notes
Engawa also works as temperature insulation space

i always thought since japan is naturally volcanic and is prone to waves it can help or it’s just for ten aesthetic we’ll never know
I enjoy your videos , spend my free time watching these videos learning so much. Do you do any architectural work in the northeast US ?

Do you have any information regarding the home at 2:57. I love the design!
It's by Bower Architecture...cheers...
You need to learn how to read these scripts, where to pause, how to breathe. It alternates between distracting and downright putting you to sleep.
