 Kira | Share: |
This small house in Nagoya, Japan was designed by Suppose Design Office in the style of Japanese minimalism. It is the mix of a flower shop, an art gallery and living quarters. The house denies any boundaries between these spaces. Simple white façade is opened to the street and the yard at the ground floor, while the living space placed at the upper levels is entirely isolated from the city noise opening with the glass walls from the opposite side. The side facades as opposed to the main flat one resemble the paper bends of origami. The ceilings are also corrugated at the two lower levels.

This unusual and impressive looking residence was designed by architects from 24H > architecture and is located in Leyden, The Netherlands. The house was inspired by the canyon which flows through the house. It looks very interesting outside because of the original architecture detail. The canyon allows the daylight to enter the building and to get to the lower levels. In some places it become transparent, in others it provides the inhabitants with the necessary privacy. No other walls are placed because the canyon is present in every room dividing it into different spaces. The dwelling looks rather playful and creative, doesn’t it?

The shortage of land in Japan makes compact house design more and more popular. Yasuhiro Yamashita, the architect behind Atelier Tekuto, has shown his sight of compact house in this Lucky Drops project. It was built with extremely tough limitations – it had to be compact and yet comfortable, look good and provide maximum space for living. Most of the living areas are buried underground since the 0.5 boundary rule is not applicable there. Specially treated stainless steel sheets are used for the basement walls to lower the cost and more importantly save space on the wall thickness. The visible part of the house has translucent walls, letting a lot of sunlight in.
