studiogreenblue: house with midair living

‘house with midair living’ by studiogreenblue is located in the residential suburb of koga, ibaraki, japan. designed for a young family, the open plan house features a translucent second floor, so no one area is closed off from another.

the activity space for the children is above the living room on the first floor, hence why the house is named ‘midair living’. the translucent lattice dividing the upper and lower levels offers a dwelling space which does not feel confined by that of a traditional ceiling.
