7 is more than 1
1 is more than 7
Faced with the challenge to design 7 small affordable houses on one small site in suburban Tokyo, we proposed to turn the usual inside out.
Living happens as an interwoven string of events, the structural wall carries all information and with its porosity allows for endless discoveries and usages.
Albeit being relatively small, each house gains in size by layered views that turn selected parts of the neighbouring walls into backgrounds of framed live paintings.
