Ismeal: There’s a big muti-stacking-sliding door to the side.

Amazing space inside but the proportion of the low level extrusion at the front seems a bit squat.

Love the rough, dark external texture contrasting the smoothness of the pure white interior.

One thing though: does that thing in the front of the house ever drop down/close? Or does it just never rain wherever this is? Because if it doesn’t and it does, those nice beds and desk and washer/dryer thing are gonna get WET.

It’s like a Japanese version of something Mies would have done. Beautiful. I think this would make a fantastic place to work and live.

Well…that’s one solution for a house on a hill. It might have worked better in the valley.

To add to Mama’s text; can I just say that when we look at architectural intentions and the way they are portrait by our eastern friends… this is not at all dissimilar from most western architects apart of course from the zhahhahahahahas of this world whose concepts are hollow and cold but truly consistent when realised… they remain pointless exercises of inflated egos….

This project on the other hand captures a Zen like quality which only true architecture can achieve.

I simply love the inability of design professionals (are they?) to realise that architectural photographs are NOT about the way people LIVE. Often these are to support the actual concept, first as an abstract model and then as a built result. They give the architect an opportunity to communicate the actual spatial intentions using the photographic media as a follow up to the initial sketches. These photographs are mostly taken before any occupants move in. And the Japanese do this beautifully – they keep the spaces empty or very sparsely furnished so that the architecture is kept visible rather than being concealed behind mountains of design objects and general clutter absorbing all the attention.

yes a very nice project indeed,..but…..why doesnt anybody refer here with some copy paste criticism to shigeru ban???…so can we say that that copies of less expressive forms do not associate peoples mind to similar projects,??,..id like come comprehensive answers or a discussion….
