'house of resonance' is the latest project completed by japanese form/ kouichi kimura architects.
developed for a small family the house was built on the site of their former home.

the external appearance is established by assembling several volumes. careful consideration
was taken for the colors of the volumes, giving the building's façade depth, and produces an
effective sequence for the entrance.

for the internal configuration, the stairway and open ceiling, are positioned in the center at the core
of the building, which is surrounded by every room and a courtyard. the material, color, and light for
each room were selected to strongly express the space’s design. as a result, the space creates a migration,
which mixes a variety of material textures, colors, and lights together.

the migration of light and shadow, makes the space and life resonant with each other,
and adds richness.



the house faces an intersection, the main entrance is located on the side away from the street
