T House

SHARE

Contemporary Japanese architecture today is some of the most effective and minimalist in its principles. Simple blocks of volume are combined together without compromising their pure lines with over complicated and unnecessary additions.

Designed by Takeshi Hamada, the exterior of this house looks like a solid white box, but it’s the interior courtyard, created by the exterior walls of the house, that’s particularly interesting. A fortress and ode to design in a cluttered city, introverted in function and extroverted in projection.
