House Nakameguro | Mikan
Meguro / Japan / 2007
The site is inserted between a green pedestrian path, and a street. The volume was barely tilted and notched according to the legal setback lines. Vertical courtyards were created between the bare concrete volume and oversized nets. This generated an ambiguous set of spaces acting as a kind of threshold and working to blur the limits in opposition to the bareness of the volume. In the interior, the floor and ceiling levels shifts, due to the section and plan, gives the interior a gentle continuity of distinctive spaces.
