Light Corridor House

Setsuko Sakakibara + Chikako Kino / Setsuko Sakakibara Architect & associate

Outline: This two-family house was built on a site where a row house used to stand, in a semi-fire zone in an urban area. The three-story wooden structure has a top light on the east side of the building, and a "light corridor" for lighting that also serves as a staircase room. The structural members and plasterboards were used as much as possible as raw materials for the finishes of the other parts of the corridor.
