japanese practice suppose design office has completed 'house in saka', a single family dwelling in
hiroshima, japan. enclosed with a windowless facade, the exterior of this dwelling discreetly lifts
from the ground to introduce natural light into the interior spaces. wrapped around a central open-air
courtyard, the living and dining area overlook the tree which has been planted within the void.
