takuya tsuchida: KRE house

takuya tsuchida: KRE house


view of the lift which moves between the living room and garage

KRE house by japanese architect takuya tsuchida is a 2 1/2 storey, single family residence,
located in shinagawa-tu, tokyo.

the client's design brief for the project was that it needed to include a nine-car garage,
with the possibility of viewing one from living room. the other was that a tall tree needed
to be placed within the house. tsuchida was given only 2000 square feet to work with,
but his design has included a car lift which moves a car from the garage to the living room,
fulfilling one of his client's requests. here, the classic lamborghini becomes the centerpiece
within this modern home.

It is obvious that you have not sufficient assets, aplomb and status to understand.
If you need to ask you do not belong!

... and it's very practical when you have a trunk full of groceries.

An excellent use of financial resources! Too bad the the client made such obvious choices. Even so his taste is surely as purchased as a first-class ticket.

@Eiti ...and when u get home a drunk, sure, not enough to ruin your house, but to climb some stairs lol

In winter the heat radiating from the car's engine compartments would come in handy. Not sure about summer though. Perhaps that's why the architect put in the US ceiling fan!!!

i rather think its entitly for the owner to show off his cars in the living room. He did catch our attention.
