Futuristic Skew House

The Skew house is a set of a floating light weight flat

and a heavy weight anchor volume; the flat is made

of steel lines and wood planes; and the anchor is concrete

volume. The flat and anchor are connected with very narrow

corridor under the ground. Windows are emerging as voids

between steel-wood units; which are slits of physical materials.

The interior is nothing but minimalistic. Clear lines and milky

white color made the work even though room walls don’t have

traditional forms. They have triangle shape that just add extraordinary

touch to overall interior impression. Minimalist interior which doesn’t

look like other minimalist styled interiors is rare nowadays.

The site is located 10 minutes or less by walk from the nearest station

in Toride-city, Ibaraki. Before building there wasn’t any flat surface

so architect mission was to build the house on the cliff. Mr.

Ueda has managed to build the extraordinary futuristic house

in so hard conditions.
