Before House in Inokashira built, there was a
steep cliff with luxuriant trees covering entire site. This house incorporates
with retaining wall. The facade has twofold: cedar louvers on top of exposed concrete
framework with cedar grain. The intention is revivification of segmented cutover
trees by using cedar both moulds and louvers - formalization of memory that use
to be there. When
it gets dark, lights from interior illuminate its outside vertical latticework creating
ambiguities around the context.
