House of Wakayama, Japan
El techo de la casa Wakayama en Hashimoto, Japón, se pliega hasta convertirse en una cubierta con forma triangular. La cortina conforma una vela naranja que otorga privacidad a los ambientes. Detrás de ella, la fachada acristalada con puertas corredizas abre completamente los espacios interiores.
The roof of this house in Hashimoto, Japan, folds around to become an exterior canopy with triangular reveals.
Behind the shade of the orange canopy, the glazed facade of House of Wakayama has sliding doors that open to expose the interior spaces to the elements.
On the first floor an open plan room projects out across the building entrance to meet the canopy.
The house can be completely opened up, and yet retain an element of privacy due to the triangular cavern of the facade.
