House for Installation

House for Installation results from the renovation of an outmoded and dysfunctional residence in Osaka. The dwelling is comprised of clear forms, sensitive detailing and a thoughtful composition of lighting. The design seeks to promote a tranquil and open environment, appropriate to the lifestyle of the artist client. Beyond living spaces, the building contains work studios, an office, and exhibition areas. Simple material includes white walls and ceilings, complemented by wood floors and furnishings. The primary room is characteristic of traditional Japanese architecture. It unites a blank living and dining area, and a rectangular volume sunk into the wall, which references a Buddist altar. Sliding doors open to the garden, and when closed, soften the daylight entering the space. Sheer curtains serve to regulate illuminance, while recessed electric lamps are located at the edges of the ceiling and in the alcove to substitute daylight as necessary and accent the space.
