Japanese houses are like concept albums
1-6: Tsun-miya House (2008) by Taira Nishizawa allows its occupants to open the house to nature, or to shut it off for complete privacy. The sun passes in through a shuttered, transparent ceiling, allowing those who reside within to live by the rhythm of time and season.
7-10: Stairs House in Shimane, designed by y+M, is a wedge-shaped house built with privacy in mind. The layout of the house (private spaces above and in the rear) and the clever window configuration lets in natural light while maintaining privacy. The rooftop provides space to play, entertain, and enjoy the view.
