takuro yamamoto architects: F WHITE

takuro yamamoto architects has sent us images of F-WHITE, a free standing one-story residence with an interior patio for a single family. the rectangular courtyard is designed at an unusual oblique angle rather than a typical right angle. the carved space eliminates the linear aisle typology that is most common in housing designs. the brise-soleil screen provides sun-shading as well as privacy to the other interconnected and unique rooms. the arrangement brings together a sense of unity and personal distance from the surrounding neighbors under the canopy of the sky.
