Landscape Architects: GREEN SPACE Inc. City: Kyoto Country: Japan House in Momoyama by OHArchitecture is a 159 m² residence in Kyoto that reinterprets boundaries between interior and exterior through layered concrete block walls and a dominant overhanging roof. Rather than enclosing spaces strictly, the design blurs thresholds by incorporating exterior elements into the interior experience, fostering openness, shelter, and spatial ambiguity. Drawing on memories of vacant lots and informal play, the house balances minimalist materiality with nuanced spatial organization, emphasizing a subtle connection to its surroundings while preserving privacy.
