today and tomorrow

This is the house of Britt Crepain & Stefan Spaens in the center of Antwerp (Belgium). Together with Joep Debie they form CSD Archtecten, so they designed and build their own home themselves. The footprint of the house is only 50 sqm (4 x 12.5 meters) but the have a basement, ground floor, 4 split-levels and a roof terrace. Brit also designed the kitchen, library, wardrobes etc. They really optimized every room, behind the door in the library there’s a toilet. The rooms, the light, the materials, the interior … when can I move in?

House H is the latest project by Sou Fujimoto Architects in Tokyo. It’s new experiment to find a balance between volumes, spaces and light. There’re a lot of stairs in this house and I’m also wondering where the bedrooms are. But I wouldn’t mind if Sou would do some projects in Berlin. Here are 2 other projects by Sou Fujimoto: House N and Next Generation House.

When we think of a house, we mostly think of its facade first. But in the end we live on the inside and our neighbors can enjoy the facade. Maybe that’s why Go Kuwata doesn’t show us the exterior of the L-house, it’s just not that important for the residents.

This passive solar design house in Otake, Japan, was designed by Suppose Design Office. It’s amazing how they can open up the living room, it becomes one space with the terrace. I’m not really sure about the exhibitionistic bathroom though.

This black piramid house in Saijo, Hiroshima, was designed by Suppose Design Office. Have you ever seen something like this before? We should invite some of these Japanese architects to Europe ASAP.

Teruhiro Yanagihara is a Japanese interior and product designer with a really minimal style. You might remembed the interior of this hair salon in Tokyo. His website is actually brand new, somehow I like it somehow I don’t.
