柄沢祐輔建築設計事務所 Yuusuke Karasawa Architects

The project of a family house by Tokyo architect Yuusuke Karasawa is located near Omiya railway station in the Japanese city of Saitama. The small plot of land, measuring 100 m², is built upon only halfway. Each of the two above-ground floors, each 50 m² in size, is also halved and vertically shifted by half a level, which is immediately noticeable from the outside of the almost transparent house. The white stripes of the ceiling slabs and staircases with a slope of 45º are clearly imprinted into the building’s envelope. Karasawa describes the house's layout as “a network of branched height levels”, further comparing it to the complicated world of the internet and hoping that our lives will be similarly layered and diverse.
