Modern architecture manages to surprise us again and again and fascinate. This house with glass front and a vertical garden on the balcony has an effective idea, although a modern and comfortable building can occur with little floor space.
Minimalist Architecture – House with glass front
The Japanese architect Ryue Nishizawa recently called his latest project, home and garden, complete. A modern house with glass facade in the Japanese capital Tokyo. The building was built on a very limited area. Particular challenge was the narrow field, which was located between two hills houses. The architect was faced with the task of creating a warm atmosphere with enough space and sunlight, while ensuring privacy for residents.
House with glass facade and balcony – Modern Tokyo
The problem was solved in a creative way. It consists of several concrete panels, which are connected by a steel structure. The side of the house with glass front overlooking the street had a lot of glass, so that enough sunlight comes inside. A spiral staircase connects the four floors. The absolute highlight is the vertical garden – a balcony on each floor was provided. Evergreen plants in pots that you privacy. In the evening you can also drag the white plastic curtains. So the private space of the home owner is always protected. Inside, the walls and floor were painted white. The decor is very economical – the master bedroom has a Japanese-style bed, a metal hanger. In the living room are two chairs and a small table. Even a firm was set up on a balcony – there, you can work in the fresh air.
