Japanese architect kengo kuma has crafted a private single-storey house in eastern japan entitled the ‘PC garden’. the program is arranged in a windmill formation with four distinct and independent rooms originating from the center-point of the design. a garden encircles the home, with each area relating its neighboring room allowing the dwelling to form a strong association with the natural environment.
internally, each room features a different material finish, establishing identifiable and clearly defined volumes. large glazed sliding doors dissolve the boundary between indoor and outdoor space, bringing a sense of brightness and clarity inside the family home. the building’s awkward cliff-top location means that lightweight construction methods and pre-cast concrete parts were employed throughout the design.
