Modern Minimalist House in Minami Boso Description :
This is the villa for the clients who live in Tokyo. The site is located in Boso Peninsula east of Tokyo, Although it takes only about less than 2 hrs drive from Downtown Tokyo., the site is facing the pacific ocean while having mountains as a background. Being surrounded by the natural landscape, it was necessary for us to utilize the great views of the site. Having these in our mind we came up with the design concept to provide the one continuous wall folded in different directions setting up the various views.
Although just a short two-hour drive east of Tokyo’s bustling downtown core, this modern, peaceful abode in Japan’s Boso Peninsula offers a relaxing retreat facing the Pacific Ocean with the majestic mountains as its backdrop.
Designed by Kiyonobu Nakagame Architects, this contemporary design embraces minimalism to the fullest, with a simple layout that yields to the surrounding awe-inspiring views. Storefront-style windows cover most of the house exterior, framed by a continuous wall that wraps around corners and folds upwards to create a private upper-level loft space.
