Atelier T – House in Tokyo

This small house was undertaken by our Associate Director Syuko Westby whilst working in Tokyo for Modern Architecture Institute. T-House is a small house & studio that sits by the woods in a quiet area of Tokyo. The brief was to have a small crafted “object-like” place where they can feel time passing throughout the day. The zig-zag shaped roof delivers the sun & shadow as it moves through the house during the day and subtly divides the living space. The house was crafted by a skilled carpenter and constant discussion with him made the exceptional detailing possible.
