C1 House by Curiosity/ Milligram Studio

C1 House, Tokyo, Japan
designed by Curiosity/Milligram Studio

The basic architectural design, a glass box surrounded by a walkway-gallery that connects the floor, was designed before the land was found. the basic design is defined from a user point of view, with movement and discovery as the main theme. The design is not defined by the wall and floor but by the movement of the user within the space, defined by a series of scenes  how the user will appear and disappear from floor to floor.

 The Glowing of the House is accentuated by the non-glowing walkaway, providing the sense of the depth due to the different textures under light.
Althought the walkway is projected from the body of the house in a short distance, it looks like floating and reminds me of the  Atelier Bisque, the house I posted before.

 The walkways also act a filter; therefore, some level of privacy is protected while some are exposed to the public. The location of the walkway may affect on the interior because of the level of revealing.

As seen from the axo,
the structure, itself, is very simple, assembling three different compnents; however, its impact is huge and significant.
Simple is AlWAYS strong.
