sky house, kiyonori kikutake, 1958
“Raised on stilts 20 feet high, Sky House hovers above Japan’s surface, metaphorically free of its dangers and rules. Sky House grew with Kikutake’s family: in 1962, the first of three capsules was plugged into the exposed underbelly of the house to accommodate new children. Kikutake later reflected that the move-nets were too small and stifled the children’s activity; when British architect James Stirling came to visit, he couldn’t fit down the narrow stairway into the capsule.”

“Propped by rubble, logs, and faith, a family compound at Yenndouma, Mali, clings to a rock face.” (National Geographic, 1969)

It seems as though the dust has settled after the somewhat bitter split of Boston-based Office dA, resulting in two new offices. Above, the recently completed addition to a family house in Newton, MA, featuring all of the amazing details that have been a staple of the practice since its inception.
