Triangle
in the Forest
This is the fifth weekend house contracted in Karuizawa.
The design is a mountain hut built of triangular planar motifs on an irregularly sloped site.
It consists of a combination of a sloping roof and a triangular plane with an inner space constituted by forested walls.
Gallery
A villa nestled secretly in conifer forest.
From the street you can only see the upper story.
The interior consists entirely of overlapping spruce material.
The kitchen is angled at 120 ° with a semicircular worktop surface.
You can cook while talking with your family and appreciating the outside scenery.
The chimney of the fireplace warms the second floor.
