About Villa K Privaat Woonhuis

Villa K is 'n privaat woonhuis gebou in Toyota-stad, Japan. Villa K staan langs 'n bestaande tradisionele Japannese houtstruktuur en vorm 'n kontras met die ouer struktuur. Die gebou is 'n enkele deurlopende ruimte van 5,4 meter breed en ongeveer 100 meter lank, omring deur betonmure van 380 millimeter dik. Die hitte-opgaring van die beton hou die binneruimte koel in die somer en warm in die winter. Die huis bevat 'n ateljee en galery vir skilder- en pottebakkerswerk, 'n swembad, 'n biljartarea en 'n motorhuis. Groot rotse wat uit die rivierbedding verwyder is, word in die landskapsontwerp gebruik.
