On the cherry blossom
January 21st, 2011This house in Tokyo is called “On the cherry blossom”, and that is its biggest downside. It was designed by A.L.X. and it’s on my “buildings to visit when I ever get to Tokyo” list.

Nice design, reminds me to similar designed houses in Stuttgard at the Weißenhofsiedlung.

This house is handsome ! It would be nice if there was a garden on the cleared ground level, instead of plain concrete on each side… @ Nick Husher : There’s opeanable white panels in the two “branch” rooms, it looks like shading devices…
