Japanese Shiga based FORM / Koichi Kimura Architects completed "house of diffusion" in Shiga, Japan , in 2008
The following is a text by the architect.
*********
This project was requested from a 30-something couple. The client desired an open and varied space. The lot is located at a part of subdivision lots where idyllic scenery still remains. The east side of the lot faces a hilly area.
The plan has been designed to incorporate the scenery as well as to protect privacy from neighborhood, resulting in the composition of being connected with the outward world while closed inward at the same time.
The “diffused space”, which is neither single nor too much divided, provides to the owner a variety of living spaces produced with the views clipped from landscapes, introduced lights, and flexible spaces.
