Ten Holes of Light
Japon

A vacation home built in a residential area near Tokyo. While its northwest side faces a large park, its southeast side directly adjoins a neighboring house without a garden. This prevents it from adopting the typical vacation home style featuring large openings facing nature. Previously, on a similar site, I designed a residence called “Kikko-an.” That house was conceived to “restrain the windows through which light enters, unifying everything in darkness through the use of black materials while varying textures, to scoop up restrained, subtle light and strongly evoke the changing seasons.” Similarly, by closing off this villa to the outside, it paradoxically evokes a sense of infinite microcosms.
