Hall House 1 by Alphaville

Hall House 1, Tokyo, Japan
designed by Alphaville

This is one of the examples which show what I have in mind as my dream house.
Concrete wall, simple geometric form,
few strong use of glass for light
and vertical shifts over small footages...

This Polygonal concrete house is built for a couple and it occupies a bedroom with bathroom, eat-in kitchen, and a billiard room. What else a couple needs?

 I like the architect dealt with the sloped roof. it not only add interest to the ourline of the house but also brings an unique atmosphere to the interior space because of the gradual change in ceilign height.

Because of the uneven ceiling height, thie house is partailly two storeys therefore, the vertical circulation is siginificant. Three different floor levels hold appropriate purposes for each room which also reminds me my previous project, the Rufer house.

The use of raw concrete and minimum use of colours and decoration add the sense of modern which goes well with the occupants living in the space.
