'M&M Rosie' - House in Setagaya, Tokyo ARTechnic architects  photo : Nacasa&Pertners Inc. Setagaya House "Overcome the disadvantage of the land condition, turn it into the beauty of the architecture" When the client found this land, we were asked to give an advice. It was a strip of pentagonal land facing west with only a pair of parallel boundary lines. Because of this land condition, it was valued lower, almost 30% larger than regular priced lands for the same cost. Static Quarry, Gunma Takashi Fujino / Ikimono Architects  photo by architects Static Quarry - added 1 Apr 2012 In the tenement house where 8 households live in, a lot of holes become vacant like a stone pit.

Small House in Meguro-ku, south of Tokyo Hiroyuki Unemori architects - added  photograph : Ken Sasajima House in Meguro-ku - added 8 Mar The small house which the married couple and their child live stands at the densely populated area in Tokyo. Though the neighboring houses is very close, I aimed to design the house which exceed the physical narrowness living at the city. Complex house, Nagoya, central Japan Tomohiro Hata Architect and Associates  photo from architects Nagoya house - 2 Mar The client family of this house needed many small rooms within a relatively small space. So, the architects firstly examined the possibility of a row of small, deep rooms. After the concept was fixed, the architects considered different widths depending on suitable scales for each of the rooms. Then they edited the composition of the sections. T Residence, Otsu-shi, Shiga, central Japan EASTERN design office  photograph : Koichi Torimrua Residence in Shiga - 1 Mar The site is at Mano area in Otsu city and this house is situated within only a hundred steps from Lake Biwa, the largest lake in Japan. In ancient times it was called the “sea.” This house is built in the same style as a samurai residence. At first glance I felt the nobility of this building. However this house was so gloomy that I could not help but believing in the presence of a ghost. Oshikamo House, Toyota, Mikawa, Aichi Prefecture, central Japan Katsutoshi Sasaki + Associates  photograph : Toshiyuki Yano House in Aichi - 17 Jan The lot is located in a residential area and is surrounded by neighboring housings, with a mother's house on its west. Requests for the house include: encourages the family to spend time together (rather than isolating anyone) / spatial / bright with plenty of natural light. Wind-dyed house, Yokohama, central Japan Kazuhiko Kishimoto / acaa  photograph : Hiroshi Ueda Wind-dyed house - 11 Jan A residential building located halfway up a cliff, overlooking the ocean. Thick clumps of trees that grow along the slope of the land surrounding the house cast a series of organic silhouettes that make the slope seem to come alive. We decided that the appropriate form to build would be as low-lying as possible, while also allowing the architecture to become embedded in the surrounding landscape according to the contours of the terrain.
