PRACTICE OF CEILING PANEL HEATING AT TSUCHIURA KAMEKI HOUSE #2

Abstract

This paper analyzes the heating system design including ceiling panel heating at Tsuchiura Kameki House #2 built in 1935 through conservation survey. Tsuchiura, as a modern architect, introduced the latest heating systems at that time, as part of his rational housing proposal for the middle class. In the Tsuchiura Kameki House #2, multiple radiators were installed, and ceiling panel heating was used in the living room atrium. In addition to the skip-floor space configuration and wooden dry construction method, his design concept was strongly reflected in the modern facilities.
