i found it. that place made around an existing shed.
i happened across it in the depths of my poorly filed picasa albums.
so therefore sorry, i still can't recall where i got these from,
or who made it. please enlighten me if you know?
i think this is super wonderful space.

the house is by tonoma architects and it's located in hyogo:

That is a beautiful space - so peaceful.
ReplyDeleteSo exciting that you're off to Japan - and on a tour, no less! Happy preparing and lovely to have you back.
Oh lucky, seems a good way to travel, on tour with Kes Band through Japan.
ReplyDeleteOh this is so nice and spacey! I would love to know where it is and who designed it. Also love to see the floor plan, it looks like it has a really interesting shape if seen from top, like the "hachi" in kanji!
ReplyDeleteAnd oh your japan trip is coming close! I will try to go to one of those dates to listen to KES, so looking forward to meeting up with you :)
hi kate - that is true - it has a peaceful air - maybe because it lives happily beside/around what was already there...no nasty wholescale demolishing...thank you for your nice comment,
ReplyDeleteand hi dell - it should be an interesting one:)
and hi hiki - me too - i have vague recollection i saw it via design boom? but can;t remember architect details...hopefully someone can! looking forward to meeting up !! not far now.
this is so whimsical until you see the interiors.
ReplyDeleteoh lucky you to be going to japan!
hi bree. How are you?
ReplyDeleteI think I have something you would be happy to watch after seeing this building. It is a collection of people's house in Japan on DVD.
When I finish it, I could send it to you.
hi mary - i know, so very lucky:) happy days!!
ReplyDeleteand wow, that sounds so wonderful momo - thanks so much for thinking of me! we can email about it? i hope you are well!
great house! i've seen a fair share of contemporary japanese architecture recently, tied in with my translation projects, but this i hadn't seen before. so cool!
ReplyDeleteand i'm so jealous you are going to japan... :)
