House H, Tokyo by Sou Fujimoto Architects
House H is the latest project by Sou Fujimoto Architects in Tokyo.
Fujimoto seized the opportunity to extend his research into the potential of primitive forms to create complex responses to contemporary needs. It’s new experiment was to find a balance between volumes, spaces and light.
Dealing innovatively with Japan’s strict plot ratio regulations, Fujimoto has avoided the conventions of creating a courtyard or of setting a house as an isolated object within the site boundary. Instead it is a hybrid; a series of boxes in boxes that define domestic realm, enclosure and interior.
House N by Sou Fujimoto Architects
This minimalist residence in Oita Japan by Sou Fujimoto Architects is composed of a smaller residence-scaled volume encased in a larger, more urban scale volume.
The larger volume is subtracted asymmetrically, creating a range of experiential moments in the interstitial space around the enclosed dwelling. These subtractions also create a variety of experiences in the more controlled, glassed in volume.
