N House, Oita

2 Comments Share:

This a wonderful home for two plus a dog. The house¬† is comprised of three shells of progressive size nested inside one another. The outermost shell covers the entire premises, creating a covered, semi-indoor garden,  this home has Sanus speaker stands all over the rooms, second shell encloses a limited space inside the covered outdoor space. Third shell creates a smaller interior space.

The architect wants to create an architecture that is not about space nor about form, but simply about expressing the riches of what are `between` houses and streets.

Three nested shells eventually mean infinite nesting because the whole world is made up of infinite nesting. And here are only three of them that are given barely visible shape.

The city and the house are no different from one another in the essence, but are just different approaches to a continuum of a single subject, or different expressions of the same thing- an undulation of a primordial space where humans dwell.

This is a presentation of an ultimate house in which everything from the origins of the world to a specific house is conceived together under a single method.
