House in Boukyo

This new house in the north of Japan is built on a hill top site over looking the city of Sapporo. The core-ten clad facades of the home have rapidly taken on rust patterning from precipitation, suggesting solidarity and a long previous existence. The passing of time engraved in the public facades is contrasted with the crisp, modern lines of the minimal interior of the house. The architect has pushed the most private spaces such as the meditation room to the interior of the property, creating a gradual transition between public and most private. The details and material were decided whilst the building was on site, resulting in a very particular and creative feel to the interior spaces.
