This is new residential building in Kagawaken, Maruyamashi built for a family of 4.
While the surrounding neighborhood/area is common place, they have struck a good balance between affording a open and free space vs. privacy.
From the outside it looks like there are no windows, it gives off a closed off feel, but once you go inside a whole new unexpected world opens up.
While the the roof is a simple one side slanted thing it contains 4 inside gardens, which transforms a basic space into a complex space that can be split up for different purposes -- enabling different changes and scenes to play out.
In addition, while the house may look cold, it has excellent thermal insulation and sunlight intake control which makes it a super comfortable and liveable.
The color palette is white, grey and monotone primarily, light scatters in random places and juxaptosed by green and wood tones as per the clients strong preference.
