TAKESHI HOSAKA architects

The building mirrors the flood wall that stands parallel to the Isumi river bank, whose riverbed stretches all the way to the site.
The architecture of the Isumi Villa creates not only an internal function, but to a larger affect it highlights the outdoor field as an impressive space. For the purpose of creating a strong “background” that emphasizes the outdoors, a 45m long concrete wall was constructed to accommodate a 2000m2 field.
The villa features a dirt floor kitchen that connects to the outdoors, so you can walk in with your shoes on, as well as a living room where you can enjoy music and movies from both inside and outside, and a small bedroom that maintains the feeling of camping. The garage space, where you can enjoy cars and various crafts, is simple, linear, and gives access to a separate bathroom and sauna by crossing to the biotope.
Cherish the experience of being in a vast field where you can experience nature and biodiversity with all five senses, observe to your heart's content, and become one with it, dynamically blending in.
