guess i should have gone with choice 1 and looked deeper. my inability to find it was due in part to my searching through the japanese version of the site...
c'mon AP...you can't just give up on the previous post...tell us the location (city, etc) or maybe post images of more known project by the same architect...i am not ready to let go!
the house is located in Fukuoka prefecture. here is the text from the firm's website (i've left the misspellings alone):
A collective house for three sisters and their individual families. The design issue was how to conbine the three protected private rooms and a widely open common space. To keep clear to the south garden, the three story volume is situated at the north side of the site. Within the simple rectangular shape building of the thin concrete frame, there are three private rooms of tube like structure. They define the rest as the common space, in which there are several different conditions according to the floor level, ceiling hight, and the relationship to outside. While each private room has its own door to the common space, two of them on the ground level has its own entrance also for thier private use. The hanging room designed for the single person might be used for the kids room in the future.
The ever shifting lifestyle of the contemporary extended family is unpredictable. However, the three dimentional common space will house the simultenious activities. It will foster the identity of the family.
titled...sorry...nice projects, nice additional images for each project at www.nksarc.com
i enjoy looking at other buildings for each office mentioned in this thread...i am amazed by how many relatively unknown offices out there are producing great buildings...makes me feel sad about the architecture being done locally here in michigan...
its the green detroit pavillion! i found this by accident looking up possible materials for exterior partitioning for a project im working on lately... very cool use of that polycarbonate.
i really like the idea of posting some plans now and then to go with the pics... just saying...maybe as extra hints like lletdownl was going to do. although it is hard to find building plans on the web.
did a studio project on monasterys fall before last, this was one of my favorite projects... thats actually when i went to see the Dart monastery as well
