large apertures provide the home with daylight and ventilation, while internal living spaces are organized around a series of mezzanines or platforms, set at different heights. Makoto takei and chie nabeshima’s design for solo houses appears as an upside down concrete pyramid that has been partially sunken into the rural terrain. following in the footsteps of office KGDVS, pezo von ellrichshausen, and johnston marklee, the scheme forms part of christian bourdais’ solo houses project - and initiative that asks a new wave of architecture practices to populate the remote spanish landscape with small resort-style dwellings.Įxterior images of the scheme reflect a previous version of the design The very idea of inhabiting the site seems to us an exercise in creating a ‘house’ that is as little house-like as possible, to live in tune with the splendour of the natural environment, without constraints or boundaries between the ‘house’ and the surrounding nature.TNA - the tokyo-based firm led by makoto takei and chie nabeshima - is the latest architecture studio to reveal plans for a residence to be built in the spanish region of matarraña. "The chosen context was ideal for this endeavour, as it is extraordinary and imposing. "In Solo OFFICE our aim was to see how far you can diverge from the preconceived idea of a ‘house’ and still create a comfortable place to live in to produce a house that virtually disappears into its environment," as the Belgian architects of KGDVS explains.
