The House in Aoyama: The Beauty of Traditional and Modern Japanese Touch
The House in Aoyama, designed by architect Keiji Ashizawa, is a perfect example of the balance between traditional and modern architecture.
The noise of the city has somehow taken away the peace from our life. Our everyday life is completely loaded with schedules of work. We all are so busy in moving forward and earning our bread that we tend to ignore what is missing from our life. It is the quietness and peace of mind.
However, the home is one such place where you feel relaxed and away from the work pressure for a while. Why not take your imagination among the greeneries of forest land, where you could spend a peaceful life in an organic home? Sounds impossible? Well, BAK Architects have built an AV House in the middle of the forest which has extraordinarily built structures of wood and concrete.
This out of place home, yet part of the forest, is built of large glass panels that give an abundance of natural light. You are inside the house; still this large open layout will let you feel that you are surrounded by greenery.
If you are shy type and think there should have been some privacy, then this AV House has walls and roofs made of wood and are stranded upon the concrete floor, with minimal furniture and light fixtures.
