The sorte house Designer: The A.L.X. office (Architect Label Xain)
Location: Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan
Image Credits: Koichi Torimura The scale of the architecture can only be fully understood if looking at it from the East side. This is because the remaining view points are limited and tight and you can appreciate the language but not the depth of the residence. Due to this the windows that are treated like irregular punched openings are designed in order for the ones looking from the inside out not to feel exposed and for the views outwards to be perceived as dynamic and restricted to a portrait. The light entering within the interior emphasizes the asymmetrically and 3 dimensiality by duplicating the angular shaped openings on the floor or the facing walls. This also carries the primary exterior language inside in the simple method of natural day light. No marriage of materials and finishes just dynamic simplicity expressing a strong statement. → www.yatzer.com Posted: 10/09/2009 digg | del.icio.us | stumble | email this
