Twin Bricks by Atelier Tekuto, in Saitama, Japan, was completed in 2008. It consists of two wings, one accommodating five rental units and one making up the owner’s family home. The rental wing has a light steel frame and is clad in a combination of lightweight, precast concrete and transparent glass blocks. Photography: Makoto Yoshida
