Tree-ness House / Akihisa Hirata
The building’s program is a residential complex and tenant spaces located in Tokyo. The site has a narrow width and long depth, allowing for a narrow profile volume to be assumed from the condition. In contrast to typical layered architecture which only stacks floors, this design aims to create an organic layering system. The design includes objects which typical architecture doesn’t count in, such as exterior spaces and the street to generate spaces that are 3-dimensional. For example, much like a tree creates spaces in the air, the design creates a tangled space which is ambiguous in interior-exterior for the people.
Interesting concept, I quite like it. Modern, cubic design as well. To an extent, I like my interior and exterior spaces separate except for certain common, social living areas…
