Kite-Shaped House / Shuji Yamada
Briefly

The kite-shaped floor plan is not only a striking architectural choice but also serves a practical purpose, balancing privacy and openness in its unique arrangement.
Utilizing the Itakura construction method, the house emphasizes sustainability, allowing for easy relocation and reuse of materials, thus minimizing environmental impact.
The triangular shoji screens play a crucial role in defining the spatial experience; their dual function enhances the natural light and creates a dynamic interaction within the home.
By blurring the boundaries between inside and outside, the design contributes to a rhythmic flow in the streetscape of Kamakura, integrating the house into its environment.
