play of light and shadow floods japanese apartment by masato takahashi architects
Briefly

The design embraces these shadows, drawing inspiration from traditional Japanese aesthetics that find beauty in the unseen.
By day, the view from the windows becomes a borrowed landscape, framed by shadows, while at night, the room dissolves into darkness, blurring hard edges.
This room is contrasted with the living room, a space designed to evoke the relationship between fiction and reality, similar to the roles in Mugen Noh.
The client requested a spacious, dirt-floor area and a compact living space, leading to a layout where daily activities flow through the Shadows Room.
