House in Minami Boso / Kiyonobu Nakagame & Associates
Kiyonobu Nakagame & Associates designed a villa on the Boso Peninsula, east of Tokyo. Even though the residence is less that two hours from the city, the natural setting surrounding the home could not be any more different from the chaotic streets of the downtown Tokyo area. The secluded setting allows the home to take full advantage of the landscape and provide a great space for relaxation. The minimalistic design creates wide spacious areas to sit and become lost in the panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean to the front, and magnificent views of the mountain ranges in the back. “Having these [the views] in our mind, we came up with the design concept to provide the one continuous wall folded in different directions setting up the various views,” explained the architects. This continuous wall does not create a bulky structure that is intrusive on the landscape, but rather, the folded wall creates an elegant residence that embraces the surroundings by making the users focus on the natural instead of the built.
More images of the home after the break.

RONALDO!!!
i ve seen a lotta house like this.
my thoughts exactly.
linda y sobria!
pero también creo que ya hay muchas muy similares
Y los planos…???
every space has a view. where is the privacy?
the privacy is the Site it’s self.
I find it strange that when a resident is sitting down, on the ground floor level, that most of the view would obscured by the half hight boundry wall. Bizarre to have such a fantastic setting and be unable to appreciate while sitting down?
Lovery, except that low wall around the site.
indeed…that wall really ruins the view from a reclining chair…
酷~我喜歡
Without plans we can’t talk abaut that. There is no problem to have some others residences similars if we analise there aren’t so many possibilities in a house project, and a good one is always a reference to others.
great space, very open…so why the horrible wall in the back?
Las fotos se ve muy bien. Pero creo que no me gustaría pasar un invierno en esa casa…
Es miami… la temperatura ahi no baja de los 20 grados centígrados.
minami… clima subtropical
Ya es redundante la misma formula del pliegue. Además no me gusta ese divorcio de la tierra. Como un objeto aterrizado… Dan ganas de quitarlo y poner un par de arquitos y jugar pelota…
No está mal, pero no es novedad. Y sin los planos, no se puede juzgar el manejo del espacio.
The same white house. Why not use more organic materials?
Es una moda que irremediablemente pasará. En la universidad donde estuve enseñando recientemente, se les enseña a los alumnos de primer año a diseñar con pliegues, y se les vende esa idea como si fuera lo mas importante. Es muy probable que ya algun cliente le esté diciendo a algun arquitecto que le va a hacer su casa: ” Por favor, nada de pliegues!, todos tienen lo mismo!!” jajajaja. Ya sucedió con las casas de techos a 2 aguas, y las columnas circulares rojas del posmodernismo.
Anibalenci,que comentario mas post moderno!
Este proyecto me recuerda mucho a las casas de modernas del Case Study pero en version contemporanea
En que escuela das clases? que pena…
Nice, folding planes concept has been done. A Lot.
horrible project… mies wannabe
beautiful location destroyed on acount of some f***up yupie
another “disappearing act” as per ito and sejima – unfortunately. not engaging in anyway, certainly bereft of any substantce or contextual relativity. Great site, but so very japanese modernist in its execution that even shinohara would turn in his grave . . .
둘이 살기에 넘 좋은것 같네…^^
For me … it’s life style !!!
我喜欢.顶
good place
Ummm…privacy??
muy bonita para el verano, pero el invierno va estar canijo
its like a furniture
