House kn by Kochi Architect's studio

House kn, Kanagawa, Japan
designed by Kochi Architect's Studio

 This dwelling is located in urban residential area in Japan. Structurally, there is a interior courtyard and terrace above it. Its partilly opened exterior wall satisfies two different groups of people. One is those who enjoy their life surrounded and protected by the wall and the other is those who want to "sneek a peak" from outside.
 According to what the architect interviewed;
he started with a box sitting on the ground in the middle of residentail area. Then, he started to cut the box in angle in order to create on opening which helps the dwelling communicate with the surroundings. That is the process how this dwelling turned out to this unique but simple form.

When the sun goes, and night comes, the impact of the form of the house gets more significant. The opened terrace more stand out compared to the massice concrete wall.
 The inside of the House kn...

pretty simple interior design and this open concept space looks functional because it can hold multipurposes.
