Industrial Designer House

ARCHITECTURE PROJECT

Location: Tokyo, Japan, Architects: Koji Tsutsui Architect & Associates, Photographs: Masao Nishikawa

In a quiet residential area in metropolitan Tokyo resides the Koji Tsutsui Architect & Associates constructed Industrial Designer House. The client required that that the house be not only private in nature but also in coexistence with the client’s feelings for his life’s work, industrial design. Along the process of putting together the requirements, it became clear that the client wished to have: an indoor garage for his beloved vehicle; a study with a view to the car; a living/ dining space where his treasured industrial products will be displayed; and completely separated guest room and bed room for sleep.

Shift House

Location: Tokyo, Japan, Architects: APOLLO Architects & Associates, Photographs: Masao Nishikawa

Surrounding the site in the outskirts of Tokyo is lush green and a slow-paced environment. The building was commissioned by a family composed of the husband who manages an insurance company, the wife who works as a patternmaker and their two children. It was planned as a SOHO, with a space for the yoga classes run by the wife added to the house. The distinguishing exterior consists of a wooden volume covered with a luminescent wall sitting on top of a base made of exposed concrete engrained with the texture of Japanese cedar.
