beautiful pictures! but i missed the plans!! since planning is The very important component of architecture, judjing is quite difficult without knowing the inside structure…

beautiful spaces! and like in this case – it happens quite seldom when your eye can Not catch one detail you would have changed…

–well offcourse i would have felt myself Very uncomfortable living in a house totally prived of any view to any landscape -or scenery outside…
–but maybe the owner feels cosier being surrounded by just walls, so for this case- this house has amazingly light spaces.

and one more thing i’ll add … there are beautiful plants inside, and (once more)- it really is very beautiful as an interior, but the value of a House is when you can have at least a tiny bit of yard where you can walk at least two steps bearfoot on grass… and filling the given piece of land with all concrete makes it not differ from an Apartment at all… well, it’s just my opinion…

over all i just loved this work. my respects to the autors

While some people may see this design as one of “exclusion”, I’m sure people who live in population-dense places such as Tokyo, Mexico City, or Amsterdam, will find that the design does much to preserve privacy.

This is wonderful. Whilst somewhat Gothic in it’s structure, it’s so Japanese in intent and execution. And those floors are fantastic.

“The residence includes a courtyard sheltered from the street by a high wall.” Sounds like a house of EXCLUSION to me.

Nice flooring and the color of the exterior is very rich. I sense there are no real plans to ever sit on that leather sofa or to really be relaxed.

nice sensual feelings around the interior of the house. as an image that is
I wonder how this house differs from the neighboring houses-is it farrr much better that it can have an aggressive(?) appoach to a “house” typology..?
to me just seems like an empty-non living space(some sort of art gallery)

Looks nice but little too old fashin, more to learn from the recent minimalists such as Sejima?

Obviously designed for a sibling of the owner of the previously posted Kouichi Kimura house … I’d say they’ve got a pretty good chance of landing a job designing a holiday home for Dick Cheney.

Look at their neighbors houses.
