Shinsuke Fujii Architects has recently completed House H, a new residence in Yokohama, Japan. The design prioritizes both family connection and individual space, creating a dynamic and light-filled environment.

The house is enclosed by a white shell that complements the quiet atmosphere of the neighborhood. With this minimalist aesthetic, the architects allow the focus to shift towards the home’s unique interior spaces.

This residence features a white exterior that blends into the quiet streetscape, and an open space design that enhances family bonds. The overlapping triple-layered roof reflects the daily expressions of the sky, while light from the south creates a warm ambiance. The interior transforms into a single room when the sliding doors are opened, nurturing a place for family communication.

The balance between individual private spaces and an integrated communal area brings moisture to life through natural light and breeze, healing the fatigue of daily life. The interplay of light created by the changing heights of the ceiling deepens family ties, offering a home that grows and weaves memories together, embodying freedom and flexibility.
