Natural Abstraction Plus House by Mount Fuji Architects Studio
This building concept is abstraction of nature, emerge as an underlying shape that the natural environment has been hiding.



This structure formed by crossing two rectangular parallelepipeds at very right angles. The lower one contains private rooms and bathroom, and sticks half of the body out to existing narrow level ground. The upper one incorporates salon and kitchen, and lies astride the lower one and the mountain ridge. It almost seems like an off-centered cross pinned carefully on natural terrain. The rooms in the lower structure and terrace on it enjoy broad vista of the sea and blue sky. And gentle shade of natural forest embraces the space in the upper one.



Material used for this house interior is Water-polished white marble (cami #120). It create delicate continuous landscape of light, gradationally blend blue light from the south and green light from the west, which suggests the character and usage of the space. Exterior is also finished with white marble and takes mirror gloss (cami #1000) at the ends. The southern end of white cross melts into the blue of sky and sea, and the eastern end to the green of forest.

This house is so nice and I’m bored so much in Paris where it’s so difficult to practice modern architecture.
