International House of Japan
  • International House of Japan 2
  • International House of Japan 3
A postwar collaborative work for international cultural exchange in Tokyo, with lodging as part of the institution. Simple finishes show materials as they are. The relation of garden and building frames both gathering and staying.

Highlights

  • Garden edge β€” How do windows and eaves read from inside versus from the garden?
  • Shared rooms β€” Where do wood, stone, concrete, and glass meet?
