keyaki apartment by 44tuneconceived by tokyo-based architects 44tune, the keyaki apartment suggests new direction in architectural developments. by creating a plan for a disaster-prone country, an exploration into the current state of architecture and how it affects the relationship between the city and people. as a result, a positive living environment platform shapes the dynamic urban fabric  of a user’s surroundings. the design inherits a traditional relationship between the owner, the city, and the new residents, causing the site to flourish in a social context. because of the trianglular site, an unusual configuration results in an unique l ayout and window plan, demonstrating an impressive context against the facade.
