Seike House
Kiyoshi Seike
- Outline
- This small house designed by Seike as his own residence, with a minimum area of 5 x 10 m, attempts to expand the living space by creating a one-room space with no walls, a low floor height, and movable tatami mats to create a continuity between the inside and outside. It reinterpreted the traditional Japanese way of living in opposition to the functionalist division of public and private at the time. Subsequent additions were made to the house, including an addition to the floor area, the "Continued Private House" (1970), and the "Late Son's House" (1990).
