This unique building is situated somewhere in a quiet residence area in Tokyo. Well, at a first glance it looks like an (more or less) ordinary house made of concrete. But in fact it´s made of single prefabricated steel boxes like a what Yamashita calls "void masonry". These boxes can also be used as a storage, shelves and so on.
900x450x300mm large boxes with a thickness of 9mm define the module structure. The single units were brought to the site as prefabricated larger units of 5 to 6 boxes, fused together with high tension bolts, with an opening for the window.
Yamashita Yasuhiro envisioned creating a dappled light effect like the sunlight that pours through the tree leaves.
Three people live there: a woman in her fifties with her two children.
