– Housing that feels nature –
The building is located on light industrial district in Yokohama. There are various types and sizes of buildings such as factory, warehouse, apartment and house around to the site. In such a surrounding environment, we tried to create external and internal spaces suitable for housing.
This facility consists of a cluster of housing scale’s blocks. Between the blocks there are courtyards with different tastes, and terrace where residents can gather. Each block is connected by a wood deck corridors named “Aerial Promenade”. Residents will experience several layers of landscape while walking through “Aerial Promenade”. Through the rich external space, they will have a relaxing time on the way of their work place and residence.
