Solid Cedar House
Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan
Mies Re-read No.5
With the several projects up until now, we have developed concepts based on Mies Van der
Rohe’s works as a theme. In this case, the concept of the “Solid Cedar House” has been
developed as an extension of the ongoing studies.
In the way that Mies used concrete and brick as structure and partition walls as a device to
create the sequence of connecting interior space with exterior landscape, in this work, solid
cedar walls and slabs (ceiling and roof) cut out various views within the different spaces
that are created. The walls not only frame the views, but within this site, also function to
conceal neighboring houses and roads.
