HOUSE K

摘要

Over recent years the AR has published many Japanese houses that challenge conventional modes of domestic expression. As a result, most have stood out as conspicuous expressions of modern life - typically with bold forms rendered in white. This house offered an alternative approach by blending into its context. Inside, however, it is no less ambitious in its provision of a new type of internalised living space. In response to the client's affection for the traditional morphology of Tokyo's densely packed residential suburbs, Sekkei-sha was briefed to work with, not against, the existing language of pitched roofs and timber cladding.
