Breeze House by Artechnic

View all 21 Photos

From the streets of Tokyo, Japan, the curved concrete walls of Breeze House seem monolithic, but the truth is that these artistic, sculptural pieces are the flower petals protecting a delicate bloom within. Designed by Artechnic, the urban residence is a terraced house with large open spaces and opportunistic views of a private courtyard. The entrance from ground-level is reminiscent of Carlo Scarpa’s Castelvecchio, such that the large wall conceals a climbing stair to the interior. Inside, a hanging staircase boasts vertical elements that draw attention to the house’s height. A careful use of metal, wood, and stone create a natural feel to the space, which match the soft, diffuse glow of the garden floodlights that illuminate the exterior of the house by night.
