white ‘o’ by toyo ito
japanese architect toyo ito has designed the white o house located in marbella, chile. the house and site are composed together as a single continuous space, flowing along a spiral movement path, and centered on a partially enclosed garden. the approach to the house rises along the natural line of the slope, drawing visitors toward the rear of the site. within the inner garden, the slope becomes continuous with the floor of the house, and then flows around and up to the more private areas of the house. read more through archdaily here.
