The floor plan for ORIGAMI HOUSE was inherited and revised slightly to achieve
certain requirements for the functionality of the layout. Given these constraints
STE-AD proposed a concept of folded planes, similar to origami, to achieve
the desired aesthetic.
With Griffin House the client came to us with a layout they wanted to incorporate into the Design of their home in Niseko, Hokkaido, Japan. Some adjustments were made to improve the layout and the concept design of the exterior and main spaces of the interior was developed from this. The site lies adjacent to one of the Yuki No Taki dwellings also designed by STE-AD.
