House in Koajiro

Eiji Iwase／Office Iwase

Outline: The building stands on a hill at the southern end of Miura Peninsula. The tunnel-like volume that rises up along the front road houses public spaces, and some private spaces are created on two levels. The approach leads through the tunnel to the earthen floor and the greenery on the slope via a deck, and the second floor overlooks the sea. The details, colors, and materials are finished with a sense of unity and diversity.
