To live in a multi-storey dwelling in a dense metropolis like Tokyo is somehow similar to living in a large tree. House in Yamasaki with rooftop sheds by Tato Architects The top floor rooms of this house in Japan by Tato Architects are contained inside sheds that sit on the roof (+ slideshow). Located in a residential area in Hyogo Prefecture, the house was designed for a family with two children. "The residents requested that, as the area has short hours of sunlight in winter, they'd like to bring in as much light as possible," architect Yo Shimada of Tato Architects told Dezeen. To achieve this, the architect designed two of the rooftop sheds like greenhouses with translucent polycarbonate walls that let light through into the study room and bathroom contained inside, as well as down to the ground floor spaces below. A layer of translucent insulation prevents the bathroom walls becoming too transparent. "There is no problem because they are not clear enough to expose more than the silhouettes," explained Shimada.
Harmony cannot be obvious If Vivaldi’s Summer is the architectural high-season, then the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion is its opening refrain — a measured, majestic transition from the long British winter to the frenetic hyperactivity and crystalline skies of summer proper. Perhaps for this reason the Pavilion always attracts a certain sleepy journalism, as though the whole press hadn’t yet had their morning coffee. One reads endless tales recounted as though written in a half-waking state — soggy with dream-like odes and fanciful metaphors, rambling and extravagant, but almost universally uncritical. MoY architects 山本基揮建築設計 This is a proposal for 5 housing on th hill, which is part of the housing land development with 588 housig in total. In general, a land boundary creats a clearance gap which enwraps the house as an oblate and, spatially, cut off relationship with neighbors. Where some houses are to be planned together, there is a possibility that this boudary can become fuzzy by planning and neighber-gathring can be facilitated. We would like to propose the way of gathering which is different from the apartment houses or single-family houses.
House O by Sou Fujimoto Located in Chiba on the pacific coast of Japan, the House O has been planned as a week-end house for a couple by Sou Fujimoto. The watchword: a house with the feel to be near the Ocean. To do so, the dwelling structure wriggles to offer different view to the sea. The 125m² space has been, moreover, fitted as a unique volume, the walls unevenness ensuring intimacy and distinction of the rooms. Office, sleeping rooms, kitchen, bathroom, entrance, each area is, at the same time, isolated and communicating with the whole residence. A spatial continuity completed by raw materials for an architecture between human-made and nature.
