Empty House

Manabu Kashiwagi + Honami Kashiwagi / Kashiwagi Sui Associates, Inc.

Outline: The house is built on a site surrounded by neighboring houses, except for the access road from the alley on the west side. In order to let in as much light as possible while maintaining privacy, we avoided openings at eye level as much as possible and installed large topside lights above. In addition, on the west side, wooden louvers are placed inside to prevent line of sight and west sun, and on the east side, reflected light from the wall of the light garden is taken into consideration. "A rooftop with a good view, thermal insulation using carbonized cork, and plaster walls were the three essential conditions given by the client, and all of them have been met here.
