#Japanese #architecture studio FORM/Kouichi Kimura Architects have recently completed the Promenade house, a single family house in Shiga, Japan. The long, narrow volume adapts to a similarly constrained site, which is 4 metres wide and 35 metres deep.
The #house is thus 2,7 metres wide and 27 metres #long, #planned as a long, narrow hallway from which, according to the architects, the «body senses the site’s geometry.» On the #ground #floor, the different living spaces are laid #out in a sequential order — #entrance, dining and living rooms, study — #following the length of the house. The second floor sees the private spaces — from #bathrooms to bedrooms and an open-ceiling space —, which stem from a staircase #illuminated by a skylight.
A #green #wall is used at both ends of the building, strongly marking its limits. Light is used throughout the house as a marker of open and closed spaces, leading visitors forward.
