ZINC HOUSE

Outline
A wooden atelier-gallery with a conventional framework, built on the same site as the Chocolate House (Shinkenchiku Jutaku Special 0912) in Kokubunji, Tokyo. The building is finished with tin sheets screwed to the insulating material stretched over the base, and the insulating material is slightly dented at the screw points, giving the building the appearance of quilted fabric. Some of the work, such as the flaming of the interior rafters and the exterior, was done by Jomon Architects.
