semi-cylindrical roof brings daylight into AOIM's three-story residence in tokyo
- Type
- House
a smooth, semi-cylindrical curve reminiscent of the traditional Japanese fish cake kamaboko
morning meals unfold beneath a glow that feels like a spotlight
interiors absorb variations in tone
the House in Koishikawa is modest in scale
the reinforced concrete structure is insulated externally
interior walls are left raw and unfinished
the exposed concrete retains a hand-formed quality
AOIM inserts an atrium and terrace as a threshold between domestic life and the city
capturing greenery from borrowed views while opening onto an exterior staircase
