House of the Day: House of Vision by FORM | Kouichi Kimura

This article is more than a year old and may contain information that is out of date.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 2008, this property was designed to maximise the inhabitant’s relationship with nature, whilst also maintaining a sense of privacy.

The architects achieved this by building a trench to the reverse of the property, and creating an interior courtyard at the centre of the house.
