Next Generation House.



More amazing architecture from Sou Fujimoto Architects… This is the Next Generation House, a 4m by 4m cube created using stacked, cedar blocks. The interlocking elements generate layers and crevices which fulfill the primary functions of a house; a ceiling and four walls as well as added warmth, insulation and comfort the wood brings. This multilevel structure blurs the lines between conventional rooms and levels creating seating, shelving, and storage throughout. It is nestled in the hillside in Kumamura, Japan and I only wish I had time to visit while I am here! (photographed by Iwan Baan)
