House K

YDS Architects designed a single-family house in Kumamoto where innner and outer spaces are a reinterpretation of the traditional Japanese space’s organization.

House K is located in a town surrounded by mountains. The architects intended to design interior spaces where one feels nature such as light, wind, and rain. Mixing inner spaces with outer spaces, the building respond to the city. Inserting the outer terrace into the white box to bring nature to the inner spaces, light and wind from the terrace go through spaces via a T-shaped void. Top light and light from the terrace reflected by the walls pour into the inner spaces. These lights would express a transitional beauty.
