One Response to House in Yokohama by Torafu Architects

  1. Ryan at LG says:

    They appear to have taken the diagonal as a starting point rather than the upright – so it’s open plan but with clearly marked out ‘zones’ which makes it a quite appealing design

  2. joeyjoseph says:

    Agreed. I too find it an appealing method of zoning.
    Though I wonder how appealing it would be to the heads of small children, and subsequently a family’s insurance bill?

  3. Pushy Galore says:

    Not a very efficient use of space. The conventional boxes around it contain much more living room.

  4. m says:

    the roof’s gonna collect rainwater.. and prolly will leak, prepare to be sued i say

  5. EonS OneS says:

  6. fvale says:

    m…we are in the 21st century..there are tons of ways to solve that problem…look at Casa da Musica in Oporto…

  8. Salvadore says:

    come on ppl its not about a water collection problem at this kind of hose. its about an expresion. its very mature!

  9. paola says:

    the inward roof can be very efficient for collecting water other than thought of as protecting the user from the rain.
