Name: Sky Catcher House
Designer: acca
Location: Kanagawa, Japan
Sky Catcher House is a minimal home located in Kanagawa, Japan, designed by acca. The architect, Kazuhiko Kishimoto built a home immersed in various other one and two-story homes. The dwelling’s somewhat plain facade limits any indication of the composition of the interior by any onlookers.
Upon passing through the lattice door, the inhabitants are welcomed by a minimal courtyard with trees emerging from small openings on the floor. The placement of the rooms follow a distinct circulating flow around this courtyard. Interestingly, the bedrooms are only accessible from the outside through the veranda.
