This article is more than a year old and may contain information that is out of date. Sorry about that.
Comprised of two parallel rectangular concrete forms, Koshino House was designed and built in Ashiya, Japan, in 1984.
The two volumes are partly submerged into the sloping site within a national park; carefully designed to become part of the existing landscape rather than to compete with it.
