House in Akashi

Yo Shimada / Tato Architects

Outline: The house is located in a residential district with narrow intervals between neighboring buildings. The house-shaped volume with few openings is divided into equal parts and placed diagonally, and connected by stairwells. The vacant lot is used as a garden, which creates a distance between the house and the neighboring house and a line of sight. Three floors are placed in a volume that matches the scale of the surrounding two-story buildings.
