Wooden house in Japan. An interplay of lights, passages and openings
The artists of the Alts Design Office were commissioned to build a wooden house, with an internal passage, underlined by the use of a different flooring and by an opening that runs along the side of the entire facade
The house is divided into two parts: a common part and a more private part
A common passageway allows residents access to each residential area
At the passage, the windows have been placed above and in this high-level environment there is subtle lighting
The windows and openings were arranged in such a way that privacy could be preserved
The aligned beams characterize the passage, as well as the flooring, to the point of making the space inside seem like an extension of the external space
The beams create an interplay of light and shadow for all hours of the day, responsible for the succession of different feelings
