The client works for a major maker
company in an overseas operation division. The nice couple in their 30s both of
them from Hiroshima had registered our plot analysis club and this project
started with the plot they searched with us.
The plot is located just around the
corner of an urban main street. This polygonal site being sandwiched by the two
paths of neighboring houses and thus standing out solitarily, FOLD shapes a
very outstanding volume. The roof shape expunged by the diagonal street folds
down rhythmically and the form reflects the interior. This sequential space
being compact, the interior enfolds with relief. From the diagonally torn down
façade and the top lights, symbolical light spreads out. The light permeates
inner skins and spawns a flexible face.
Thanks to the severe condition of
the plot, we took this method and produced such volume inevitably to provide
each originality in every position you see.
