Hikari Tsuzuraori Residential House
Hikari Tsuzuraori Residential House
Hikari Tsuzuraori is a two storey vacation house located in Kamakura, Japan, near Hasedera Temple. The site is a flag lot surrounded by close neighboring houses, so natural light was limited. The structural core is divided into four parts, placed unevenly to form small gardens and to draw daylight inside. The staggered cores and the alternately folded roof slope create an opening at the top, admitting sunlight by day and offering a view of the stars at night. The lower floor is a quiet Japanese space for meditation, while the upper floor is open and bright for family life.
