Reflecting House

Tokyo Denki University Yamamoto Space Design Lab. + Kyoritsu Women's University Hori Lab.

Japan

Great concept but it was too dark for my phone. A very tactile tour for me, this one, which was good. Saved me from always viewing everything through my mobile phone.

Sotaro Ide and Toshiya Takahama’s2006 contribution titled "House in Koide". The house is transformed at the hands of the students into a seminar house of their own design. The light from the countless stars shining down through the ceiling is reflected by the floor, revealing the scenery, changes brought about by time, as well as history.

The sign says 'koide house' (I think( :)

 

Just playing with the effects. The sign and house didn't really look like this. Here's the original.
