Cosmic is a minimalist house located in Japan, designed by UID. The ever-changing ways of living things such as humans and plants, land topographies, or climatic conditions all remind us that nothing in our would stays the same forever. The architect’s interest lies in the rich spatial domain in which one may perceive in the course of daily life such changes of nature that are the very heartbeats of the earth. In this project, the focus is on the relationship derived from mutual interaction with the natural environment that surrounds the site, which sits on a hill.
