Twist House / HAGISO
Briefly

This article describes a creatively designed wooden house in Yanaka, Tokyo, incorporating a unique 10° rotation to optimize natural light and ventilation. The structure's simple rectangular form matches nearby buildings while its nested walls create intriguing triangular voids. These voids serve as staircases and balconies, enhancing the sense of space and light while providing a transition between interior and exterior environments. The design cleverly balances privacy with openness in a densely populated area, redefining urban housing concepts.
Incorporating a 10° rotation within a densely packed urban context, this wooden house introduces unique triangular voids that enhance natural light and spatial perception.
The triangular voids not only serve aesthetic purposes but also functionally improve ventilation and insulation, creating a transitional 'third space' that connects inside with the outside.
