Contemporary Eco-Architecture House in Osaka



Contemporary concrete design meets Eco-Friendly ideas. This design by architects Suga Atelier allows maximum light and wind to enter the building. Recycled and reused materials like plywood and plastic bottles have been used in building walls and unique floorings.
  
Located on a triangular site that is surrounded by roads, House S eschews typical windows and instead features a narrow glass wall recessed into one corner and a glazed atrium that extends down through the center of all three floors.


Rain falling through the nine-sided roof void passes two doughnut-shaped benches and drains into a sunken basin at the lowest level, although canopies can also be folded across the floors for shelter.



 The house’s concrete walls were formed against plywood, which has been reused to create internal walls, kitchen worktops and the floor of the second storey loft.



 Floors and walls elsewhere in the house are lined with white plastic panels made from recycled bottles. 



 Rain goes through the light court, beat down on the thin water basin on a garage floor and remain its traces.



Since the house uses structural plywood that has pits surfaces as a form-work, the whole looks like a rough concrete retaining wall.  



  Yet, the space is always wide open to the sky by the light court positioning in the center of the space that is slightly deformed in the shape of “L” due to the entrance.
