SHIMOKITA HOUSE

HIROYUKI ITO ARCHITECT&ASSOCIATES＋O.F.D.A.
Outline
This is a three-story, six-unit wooden rental house on a flagpole site in Tokyo. Two house-shaped volumes are determined by the diagonal restriction on the north side. In order to average the lighting ratio of each dwelling unit, rooms are located on the ground floor and the top floor. The sizes of the windows are basically three kinds, and they are fine-tuned according to the span of the pillars. The windows cut off the balconies of the neighboring houses, the sky, the loopholes between the buildings, and the adjacent dwelling units, creating a landscape with a different sense of distance at the same time.
