studiogreenblue: house with midair living

‘house with midair living’ by studiogreenblue is located in the residential suburb of koga, ibaraki, japan. designed for a young family, the open plan house features a translucent second floor, so no one area is closed off from another.
the activity space for the children is above the living room on the first floor, hence why the house is named ‘midair living’. the translucent lattice dividing the upper and lower levels offers a dwelling space which does not feel confined by that of a traditional ceiling.

The Gridded floor/ceiling looks great and is an excellent centre piece, it merges the rooms in a very subtle manner. You could say a new take on open plan living. Only issues are the practicalities of walking on it, it looks as if it would be painful without shoes and I imagine toes and fingers getting stuck. Which makes me think of it as quite a dubious part of the house for children. Though once again the translucence merge is beautiful and more than makes up for this.
