noriyoshi morimura architects & associates has finalized the construction of ‘jyoushin house’ in japan. the concrete structure carefully utilizes glazing to offer a balance between the provision of natural light and the privacy required of a residential dwelling. located in a suburban area, the four bedroom property serves as a comfortable and secure family home.

a secluded entrance invites inhabitants in from the street, bringing them inside the protected environment. primary living accommodation is found at the ground floor, alongside kitchen and dining facilities, while sleeping quarters are situated at the second level of the property. large glazing at the upper storey overlooks the neighborhood and brings light into the sheltered abode. internally, the exposed concrete runs throughout the design and is complimented by the use of dark timbers and other natural materials.
