Japan based firm Suppose Design Office, have designed a house located in the city of Otake, Japan.
From Suppose Design Office
The Otake house is located in the West of Hiroshima prefecture, on a high plateau that neighbors the Kamei Park of the Kamei Castle Ruins. To the South is an industrial region and a beautiful mountain range, and to the North a remarkable view of the Seto Inland Sea and Miyajima. We created a design fitting to these two contrasting and beautiful scenes. We thought of the North side as the type of scenery you take in and savor, and the South side as the type that you place yourself in. Structurally we divided the area between load bearing zones and free zones to make a place that could have two personalities at once.

Hiroshi Sambuichi`s ideas on making architecture are as far removed from those of his Tokyo contemporaries as the location of his Hiroshima-based office. With his latest project, a house for a couple and their three children, Sambuichi sets an example for the proper use of natural energy sources, showing that good design is first and foremost all about getting the balance between the building and the earth, right.

TOO49 is a six-story housing complex with 43 studios and 6 two-bed-room units.
Proposed in this project is the prototype to stack courtyard houses in not-too-close connection with surrounding contexts. With the slates’ aging, this out-of-scale block will grow into a landmark to sympathize with the blending well with the surrounding area.

This home is a melding of indoors and outdoors. The effect is total cool. There is a two-story courtyard confined within perimeter walls. One can view it as an indoor mini-park. The house is built around the concept of the courtyard. Most rooms have huge sliding doors that showcase the stillness of the courtyard outside, while opening up to the interior space outside. The largest spaces are reserved for the outdoor component of the home. The interior spaces are relatively smaller, to give them a cozy and snug feel. Read the rest of this entry »
