This article is more than a year old and may contain information that is out of date. Sorry about that.
Built in Japan’s Shiga Prefecture in 2010, this house sits on a busy arterial road.
The use of materials, and a hanging wall, is designed to maximise light in the space whilst creating a sense of privacy and silence.
