Japanese architects are seemingly in an ongoing war to out-stage each other in weird house designs. The main purpose for this must be to be published on design forums on the internet (coincidence so many of the projects here are from Japan?). However i do feel sorry for the anxious Japanese hipster clients who are duped into going along with these horrific plans simply to satisfy the architects need to do something crazy.
when I first looked at this, i was intrigued, seemed interesting, and I liked the glimpses that you get through to the different levels. apon further investigation, i have realized that this is possible the most inefficient plans I have ever seen, something Corb would have hated. even though it is a really large 1 bedroom house (for the same space you could get 3 or 4 bedrooms) the spaces still look poky and small.
congratulations on convincing your client to do this, or are you the client?
The coldness of a psychologists office with the impracticality of a snow jacket in Cairo. A good piece of art though, but nothing can make up for the fact that this house is both a bit too far off in function, and a bit lacking in form, it makes for, at most, an interesting thing to be discussed.
you should have very strong legs to live in this house. so much climbing up and down the stairs and ladders…. perhaps that’s what i need, an exercise.
