The Design
About Double Skin Hus
Denne bygning er en tre-etagers trækonstruktion i et tæt bebygget område af Tokyo. Selvom stedet er lille, og afstanden fra nabolandet kun er omkring 1 m, var der behov for lys og privatliv. Inspireret af den traditionelle japanske shoji, som blødgør lyset, har designeren skabt et moderne lysfilter, der er modstandsdygtigt over for vind og regn og også kan bruges udendørs. Den gennemskinnelige beklædning på facaden blødgør lyset udefra og slører synligheden for både forbipasserende og beboere. Om natten bliver den oplyste facade til et stort lys til at oplyse gaderne.
