Future house “Toyota Dream Home PAPI” was deisigned and developed by a Tron Architect, Ken Sakamura, ”in collaboration with Toyota Home, Inc.
Their design principle was based on what they call “Factor Four”. Factor Four is an idea that while they reduce environmental effect by half, they also attempt to increase comforts of the residence by twice. (4 times “better” than current living environment)
Another importance is the fact that this project is created by Toyota, who has developed car technology, and is now applying that technology to residential construction.
This issue thus features the technological development and design strategies of PAPI, by mainly focusing on the ideas of engineers who realized this project.
