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.
