Explore This Amazing WorkDouble Skin House
This building is a three-story wooden structure in a densely built up area of Tokyo. Although the site is small and the distance from the neighboring land is only about 1m, light and privacy were required. Inspired by the traditional Japanese shoji which softens the light, the designer have created a modern light filter that is resistant to wind and rain and can also be used outside. The translucent cladding on facade softens the light from outside and blurs the visibility of both passerby's and inhabitants. At night, the lighted facade become a large light to illuminate the streets.
