The stark honesty of Hiroshima-born and -based 38-year-old architect Keisuke Maeda’s work is breathtaking.
The Pit Property residence he made for a client in Okayama, Japan, is a startling steel-structured 138 square-meter (1487 sq.ft.) “cave” that was built into the hillside web site, however it enables the residents 360-degree views of the surrounding area and its buildings.
This is achieved by mounting the above-the-surface component of the structure on 50 branch-like poles, generating a surround skylight for the amphitheater inside.
The Pit is 1 of those residences that 1 would absolutely want to check out, not just during the day but at evening. There is an observatory-like feel to the space, yet the inside looks fully comfy.
The structure’s boxy surface silhouette hides beautiful, snail-like curving walls, and in spite of becoming largely underground, the residence is filled with light and openness.
Pit is certainly not the word we’d use to describe this great structure, but maybe that name is part of that honesty we so love about Maeda. - Tuija Seipell
