take a closer look. it seems almost like a ‘waste’ to put this crafty, eye-bending building smack dab in the middle of some hom-hum area… the views are… blegh butttt impressive feat nonetheless
Built by architecture studio Eastern Design Office, this Japanese Flatiron inspired building is located in the district of Youkaichi in Shiga Prefecture. A triangular residential complex of 13 meters height with 7 apartments each composed of a living room of 13 m2, two bed rooms with 13 m2 and 9m2, a prefabricated bathroom, a kitchen system and a toilet.
The exterior wall is made out of square cut stone, concrete and glass formed like scattered cards on it.
They are bound by a “cross” so that the spread out material would not disjoint.
