The house in Muko is a one of a kind design created for a unique site by Fujiwara room Architects in Japan. Consisting of a single room floor program with the master sleeping room and stairwell at the dorsum of the fan shaped space. The stairwell leads upwards to two children'southward bedrooms and the bath, none of which are completely closed off. The confront of the domicile is wrapped in drinking glass and tall vertical louver slabs, allowing light to both enter and exit the home, depending on the fourth dimension of day.

When the louvered slabs meet the sides of the domicile they transform into the side for a make clean transition from exposed façade to closed and private walls – with the exception of the entry door that beckons people inward. The trees positioned simply in front end of the home offer an interesting contrast to the precise lines of the building.

Once inside the Muko house, the feeling swiftly changes from precise geometric lines to fluid shapes full of motility and undulation. From the egg shaped swing seat that sways gracefully when touched, to the curvaceous couch and Ant Dining chairs, the furnishings are all based on curvilinear formations. Playing off of these curves, the sunlight creates interesting staggered and rectangular lite spots with curved ends as the suns rays pass through the louvers and against the furnishings inside. The composition is so visually interesting; it is like shooting fish in a barrel to miss the quiet niche with opened sliding doors that is the master bedchamber.

The dining room is a fun grouping of Danish Ant Chairs. The pick is a perfect choice that offers major impact while taking up minimal infinite. The light wood of the prepare blends with the stake wood flooring and kitchen cabinetry. While the white louvers on the window wall take attention away from the sink on the far wall and the bed in its hide away niche. Even the main entrance, next to the bed is unassuming.

I love the whimsical germination of the chairs. Then effortlessly sculptural with their pismire silhouettes and here, against the repeating shadow lines created by the louvered window wall, the chairs are a argument of softness and elegance.

Just past the dining area is the kitchen. Composed of a galley workstation with the improver of an island, it is small just functional. The volume of the wood wrapped island blends harmoniously with the flooring.

The flooring plan of the Muka House shows how functional the small space truly is. From kitchen to dining to living every zone flows smoothly and every zone has sufficient space for like shooting fish in a barrel movement. The far wall of the fan shaped programme holds the bedroom niche a small toilet and a flight of stairs to the first mezzanine. The offset mezzanine is centrally divided past a stairwell, creating two bedroom stations for the children. A shared work station spans the space across from the stairs and connects the 2 bedrooms. The stairs atomic number 82 up to a bathroom and the roof top balustrade.

The workstation that connects the two bedrooms offers plenty of storage below.

The two bedrooms are located centrally within the homes volume with the living zone below spanning the space with the kitchen and living areas. Upward i flight of stairs is the bathroom on one side and a few more than steps upwards is the roof top deck on the other.

The bathroom is a white on white scheme that is flooded with light through the wall of windows.

The beauty of the homes design is the way the sunday continues to enter the abode throughout the day. Light from the e refracts off of the louvers before inbound while the direct sun from the south creates a path of sunlit lines interspersed by louver shadows. Western lite reflects off the open stairwell walls before likewise entering the domicile. This constant pattern of sun and shadow, combined with the geometric design itself offers a surprisingly large sculptural argument on such a modest footprint.
